Tech Arp x264 HD CPU Benchmark

[Stefan]

The name is a bit confusing: they mean HD=high definition, not hard disk

"What Is x264 HD Benchmark?

Simply put, it is a reproducible measure of 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."
