Core i7-3770K vs. AMD FX-8150 and Core i7-2600K CPU Review
Media Espresso 6.5
Contents
Media Espresso is a video conversion program that uses the graphics processing unit of the video card to speed up the conversion process. It is also capable of using Intel’s QuickSync technology available in the CPUs from this company. We converted a 449 MB, 1920x1080i, 18,884 kbps, MPG2 video file to a smaller 640×360, H.264, .MP4 file for viewing on a portable device such as an iPhone or iPod Touch.
Here we forced Media Espresso to use the CPU for the conversion process, not the GPU. The Core i7-3770K and the Core i7-2600K achieved the exact same result and were 17% faster than the AMD FX-8150.
