Video Encoding

Video encoding is the best application for the new AMD processors. Phenom II X4 920 outperforms its rivals in nominal mode as well as during overclocking. By the way, at 3.72 GHz it also outperforms Core 2 Quad Q6600. However, it is still very far behind the impressive results demonstrated by Core i7 CPUs. No wonder, since SMT technology implemented in the latest Intel solutions matters here a lot.
