x264 HD Video Encoding
Simply put, it is a reproducible measure of how 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.
Benchmark Results: The first pass of the x264 HD Video Ecoding benchmark is much less processor intensive and overall clock speed helped the AMD Athlon II X3 445 beat out the AMD Phenom II X4 910e. The second pass however, benefits from the additional core of the AMD Phenom II X4 910e. Being limited to three cores hurt the performance of the AMD Athlon II X3 445 during the second pass. Though it still out-performed the faster clocked AMD Athlon II X2 260.
