core 2The team behind [H]Enthusiast tried out three core processors particularly for systems heavy on video editing, music encoding music and manipulating images. The contestants were Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800, Intel Core 2 Duo E6700, and AMD Athlon 64 FX-32.


The mission: Determine real-world benchmarks for functions an average person would perform on a home PC with similar specs.


The tests:
  • Ripping a full-length motion picture from a DVD
  • EncodingFrank Zappa's Packard Goose to an iPod native .mp4 / AAC file using iTunes
  • Running Adobe Photoshop v8 and Driver Heaven's testing suite
  • Importing a 2.3GB avi file imported from a camcorder
  • Importing an 800MB MiniDV video clip from a video camera using Windows Movie Maker to encode it to the 2.1Mbps bitrate
The findings: When it comes to editing video, manipulating images, or encoding music, the Intel Core 2 Duo and Extreme processors at 2.66GHz outclassed AMDÂ’s Athlon FX and Athlon 64 line of processors.

It is a AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 not AMD Athlon 64 FX-32.



And not only did the core 2 were faster than the AMD in editing video, manipulating images, or encoding music they were faster in EVERY BENCHMARK.



Intel RULES

Why did they test dual core Intels vs single core AMD? That seems a little one sided to me. Perhaps they should have tested it against a comparable AMD product like the X2.

This is total bull*****. The tester were paid by Intel and everybody knows AMD rules when it comes to games. And why didnt they put socket 939 Opteron in the test?
