Processor benchmarks: Intel versus AMD

Video performance: TMPEG / PowerDVD Copy

Compared with Video Studio 8, an editing/processing suite, TMPEG Enc 3.0 Express is essentially limited to video conversion and encoding.

TMPEG Enc 3.0 Express is one of the few applications to support all of the Pentium 4's special features. Besides SSE2 and HyperThreading, it also supports the 13 new instructions introduced with the Prescott core. As a result, the Athlon 64 is beaten hands-down: AMD's chips cannot keep up with the competition in this test, lagging behind by up to 36 per cent.

In the test with the DVD copy software PowerDVD Copy, the picture changes: here, the Athlon 64 is between three and six per cent faster than the Pentium 4.

      It was interesting to witness Conroy's recent enthusiasm to spruik the NBN's role in supporting the Smart Grid, Smart City initiative. What a pity that Conroy hadn't yet seen the damning report from the Victorian auditor-general about that state's smart-meter roll-out.
