Processing time

[Chewy]

they can't hide from the venus, as long as intel has to liscense
the instruction sets and play fair.
of course after hank gets his x2 amd 64

[hank315]

in case my time will be slower i'll blame you for using a special optimized version, which you must have kept for yourself so far

LOL, just used the latest 016

Time to beat? Think that shouldn't be so hard, my system is already pretty old, the newer CPU's should be faster than mine...
The Celeron D proc. also runs HC very fast, they also have SSE3 extensions.
The nice thing about the P4 HT is you can run an encoder and do the usual stuff at the same time, the encoder only takes one thread so the CPU is max. at 50%.
CCE manages to take about 80% on a P4 HT.

Here's the log from a test I ran last night, not done with DVD-RB but that will make no difference regarding time.
It's the Matrix 2, intro and credits are skipped.

There you go, run it on Matrix 2. Movie's time is not the factor - there are plenty of 2hr movies which are 5Gb and lots of others that are 7Gb (excluding audio).

Let's have a fair test!

Hm.., some years ago I promised myself not to use an AMD ever again because of *very* bad experience with AMD.
Unstable, *very* hot, 55 C (idle) - 90 C (full load), if the cooler brakes down they vaporize within a second etc...
Seems the later CPU's are alot better but still have nightmare's about AMD.

ok, i found a source which has a similar number of frames to yours:
189.243

we'll see tomorrow

sounds like the new intel cpu's

[blutach]

I had a problem with AMD fan. Clogged up, busted, system overheated. Lucky it didn't fry the CPU. But I did go out and get new good fans!

I have had a Athlon XP for a few years now. It has never run hot. It idles at around 32 degrees and never goes above 40 under load.

It was either a museum piece that got missed or you got a heck of a
heatsink/fan on it. cooler climate?

It's a Athlon XP 2000, nothing special. The heatsink is nothing special either. The one that came from with the cpu did run slightly hotter at around 38 degrees idle.

[UncasMS]

the xp 2000+ i had (palomino core) ran pretty hot btw


my testrun has finished with the 126 min source (not matrix2) + HC 016F + matrix QLB:

[04:06:53] Phase II ENCODING completed in 174 minutes.

so i guess i'm runner-up here ^_~

custom HSF mount/clean case/cooler climate/good case venting/

there's a lot of variance between cpu's with the same
specs/core/stepping, but the builder did a good job.

[Chewy]

2:31:41 = 152
(174-152)/152 = 14% slower
@
(3.5-2.2)/3.5 = 37% lower core clock

uncasms, time to open the window, take the side off the case,
go back into bios

just kidding, not really

[UncasMS]

my cooling is decent

only yesterday did i attach another 80x80 fan with a higher speed than my usual pabst fans and installed a switch to the front of my case in order to be able to switch this noisy sucker on/off when needed

full load - cce running:


normal usage:

uncasms, time to open the window

i better dont:

this is what it looks like here since friday morning
