Benchmarks - CineBench 10, VirtualDub and TMPGenc 4.0

CineBench 10 is one of the popular rendering tool that supports newer SSE instruction sets. In this test, take a look on how CineBench performs in the 3 different platforms.

As we can see from the chart, the Intel QX6700 clocked at 2.3GHz still performs faster in rendering, either single or quad core. The difference is around 41% (1 CPU) and 15% (x CPU) faster than the Phenom GP-9600 at the same clock. One thing to note is that the multiprocessor speed is quite substantial on the AMD Phenom GP-9600 as compared to the Intel QX6700.

The two other applications that are said to be SSE4 capable are DIVX 6.7 encoder and TMPGenc 4.0 Express.

VirtualDub 1.7.2

In VirtualDub 1.7.2, we used the DiVX 6.7 encoder for 1080HD and encode the Kitesurfing.avi file (provided by Intel). We timed the 3 platforms and all of them completes at the same time. The result is encouraging.

TMPGENC 4.0 Express

In another test, we used TMPGenc 4.0 Express, we managed to encode the same video file to WMV9 in 3 min 54 secs with the QX6700. With the Phenom G-9600, it took longer at 4 mins 51 secs and 5 mins 8 secs respectively.

SuperPI 1M

SuperPI took much longer than the Intel equivalent. Here is a screen shot.
