Type of test: Popular application with open source code to convert videos.
Comment:

Puts load on the CPU and other components through conversion of video files to other formats.

The performance test: iPhone 4 preset: 263 MB MP4-fil filmed with Galaxy S II in 17 Mb/s

Handbrake isn’t the best optimized application when it comes to multiple threads, which allows Ivy Bridge with it’s architectural improvements to place itself above even the Core i7-980X.

x264 Benchmark 4.0
Developer: Tech ARP
Type of test: Popular synthetic test suite
Comment: Puts load on the CPU and other components through conversion of a video file to x264.
The performance test: Built-in performance test

x264pass1

In pass 1 of x264 we once again see a good ranking for the Core i7-3770K, which can almost touch the six core processors territory.

x264pass2

But Core i7-3770K drops significantly in the heavier pass 2 test and lets the old six-core warrior, the Core i7-980X, to run past itself. The result is still the best within the quad-core processor territory though.

Glad you liked it 🙂

We hope the new translators will have time for more of these.

You used DDR3-1333 for AMD APU when it’s known that those processors need faster RAM to reach top performance, unlike Intel’s which don’t scale up accordingly. As it is, this is a very Intel-biased review.

It seem Intel will beat AMD more with this line of new generation processor. It is faster and consume less power than sandy bridge and trinity. Core per core / clock per clock basis.
I really like to know though the performance and efficiency compare to AMD trinity.

What happens if I put a 125w TDP CPU on a 95w motherboard? If I have a quad-core CPU and disable 2 cores will my CPU fit in the 95w TDP?
