Intel Q9450 vs Phenom 9850 - ATI HD3870 X2

[Viper666]

That pretty much says it all.

Goshs theory that the C2D and C2Q are only good at single threaded apps is possibly one of the most undeniably stupid things i have ever heard anyone say. Maybe i should buy a Phenom for all my Video encoding as thats all multithreaded.

Actually my Bribane 2.5 45watt dual core and my 4850 ATI using avivio will slaughter your box encoding. Changing a DVD to DIVX about 2 minutes I think

And its a fact that Intel does very well on single threaded apps, but on muti threads not so well(more than 2 threads), the advantage it has on single thread doesnt scale per core the same, on very multi threaded stuff and heavy loads, it cant because all 4 cores talking over FSB and RAM,not processor cache like Phenom.

Anyway why do you thinK the new Intel copied the AMD Idea ? Can you take a guess? lmao

I would find an Open Source Video Encoder and you might become very unhappy ! Also go look at spec.org standardized tests and bench marks with no cheating
