x264 HD Benchmark 5.0

25th May 2012, 11:50 PM

The 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.

In addition to the release of the benchmark, we will be compiling benchmark results for this new version. So please contribute your new benchmark results to this project!

Quote:

AviSynth is a frameserver. It allows the MPEG-2 format video to be fed to x264 as if it were a standard avi file. x264 cannot read MPEG-2 videos without it.

Quote:

You can encode video in a single pass, but two passes will typically give a higher quality result.

Quote:

Q : Why doesn't the first pass use 100 % of my multi-core processor?

As mentioned above, the 1st pass simply isn't as CPU-intensive as the 2nd pass. It's actually relies more on memory bandwidth than CPU performance

These are not true.
