Video Transcoding Performance - AMD A10-5800K & A8-5600K Review: Trinity on the Desktop, Part 2

Video Transcoding Performance
x264 HD 3.03 Benchmark
Graysky's x264 HD test uses x264 to encode a 4Mbps 720p MPEG-2 source. The focus here is on quality rather than speed, thus the benchmark uses a 2-pass encode and reports the average frame rate in each pass.
CPU based video transcode performance is as good as it can get from AMD here given the 2/4 module/core setup of these Trinity APUs. Intel's Core i3 3220 is a bit slower than the A10-5800K. We're switching to a much newer version of the x264 HD benchmark for our new test suite (5.0.1). Some early results are below if you want to see how things change under the new test:
| x264 HD 5.0.1 Benchmark | ||||
| 1st Pass | 2nd Pass | |||
| AMD A10-5800K (3.8GHz) | 33.5 fps | 7.41 fps | ||
| AMD A8-5600K (3.6GHz) | 32.2 fps | 7.12 fps | ||
| Intel Core i3 3220 (3.3GHz) | 35.2 fps | 6.61 fps | ||
