FX-8350 vs. Core i5-3470 CPU Review

Media Espresso 6.5

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 the Core i5-3470 was again the fastest CPU, with an 11% advantage over the FX-8350, which achieved the same performance level as the Core i5-2500K. The new FX-8350 was 5% faster than the FX-8150.
