 AMD Phenom II X4 920 and 940 review test

 By: Hilbert Hagedoorn Edited by John A. Johnsen, Joshua Finger, Ian R. Barling | Published: January 8, 2009  



Multi-threaded Video Transcoding VC-1 to WMV9

Transcoding is a very popular thing to do on PCs. You take a movie and transcode it from one format to the other. In this test we transcode a high-definition VC1 movie to a WMV9 format.

Phenom II loses some ground here as, again, Intel's Core i7 processor is a hyper-threading marvel which really benefits applications like these. Once we overclock, we get very close to it though.

Memory Read test

Obviously we also had to peek at memory bandwidth performance. Now, obviously Intel has two advantages here. Triple-channel memory and DDR3 memory. This explains the tremendous amount of read performance for Core i7 platforms.

If you filter that out though, the dual-channel performance achieved with Phenom II and our 1066 MHz DDR2 memory is quite astonishing.
