Since 1999, we have been developing the BIOS Optimization Guide, affectionately known...

CPU Performance Comparison Guide (x264 HD Benchmark) This article compiles the best benchmark results we collected of various CPU models using x264 HD Benchmark 4.0, a free CPU benchmark developed by graysky, Dashken and Adrian Wong. This CPU performance comparison guide currently covers 129 different CPU models with another 283 CPUs in the older comparison but this is just the beginning. We will keep updating the results as new results come in, so please contribute your results. If you would like to participate in this endeavor, head over to the x264 HD Benchmark 4.0 page and download a copy. After you obtain your benchmark results, simply post them in the official forum thread of x264 HD Benchmark 4.0. Please post your results even if your processor is already listed in the comparison. This is because we will use your results if they are better than the results currently listed in the comparison. For accurate results, please remember to close all active applications as well as applications running in the background before you test. Also, if you are using an Intel Core i7 or Core i5 processor (or their Xeon brethren), please be sure to turn off Intel Turbo Mode in the BIOS. If you are using an AMD Phenom processor that supports Turbo Core, please turn it off as well. Understanding The Results x264 HD Benchmark 4.0 reports its results in the form of the average frame rate (fps) and the average compression speed (kb/s). For easier understanding, this guide will focus on the average frame rate. This represents the number of video frames compressed per second. If you look at the results generated by the benchmark, you will see two sets of results - Pass 1 and Pass 2. This is because the benchmark performs a two-pass compression process on the HD video. In Pass 1 of the benchmark run, the CPU compresses the raw HD video using the x264 codec. The compressed video is then recompressed during Pass 2 to create an even smaller video file. The Pass 2 results will always be much slower than the Pass 1 results because it involves the compression of an already compressed file. The reason why we run two passes is because the two compression passes stress different aspects of the CPU's performance. The first compression pass emphasizes the processing capability of the CPU core, while the second compression pass is greatly affected by the performance of the CPU's cache and memory controller. This is important as some CPUs may have better processing capabilities (higher Pass 1 results) with poorer memory performance (lower Pass 2 results) than their competitors. This lowers their overall performance, something which will not be noticed if we did not run the second compression pass. To show you the overall performance of these processors, we also averaged the Pass 1 and Pass 2 results to give you an average frame rate for the two-pass compression process. Now, let's take a look at the results! Support Tech ARP! Help support our work by visiting our sponsors, participate in the Tech ARP Forums, or even donate to our fund.
