The New x264 HD Benchmark 5.0 Is Here!
@ 2012/05/28The new x264 HD Benchmark 5.0 is here!
This is the improved version of the x264 HD Benchmark 4.0 benchmark
which had become a standard CPU benchmark for Tech ARP as well as many
other hardware enthusiasts.
We have completely revamped the benchmark by using a new 1080p video
sample, as well as added both 64-bit and 32-bit tests using the latest
r2200 x264 encoder. There have been other major changes under the hood
as well, to make it a better stress test for newer multi-core
processors. All these changes make the x264 HD Benchmark 5.0 the new
best tool for testing the full capabilities of modern multi-core,
multi-threaded processors.
Do note that due to the changes, the results from x264 HD Benchmark
5.0 are NOT comparable with results from older versions of the
benchmark.
