AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition 3.3GHz CPU Review

x264 HD Video Encoding

Simply put, it is a reproducible measure of how fast your machine can encode a short HD-quality video clip into a high quality x264 video file. It’s nice because everyone running it will use the same video clip and software. The video encoder (x264.exe) reports a fairly accurate internal benchmark (in frames per second) for each pass of the video encode and it also uses multi-core processors very efficiently. All these factors make this an ideal benchmark to compare different processors and systems to each other.

Benchmark Results: The AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Processor was 5.6% faster during the first pass of the x264 HD video benchmark than the previous leader the Phenom II X6 1075T. During the second pass which is much more processor intensive, the AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition was able to increase the performance gap to nearly 9%!
