Tech ARP x264 HD Benchmark
Simply put, it is a reproducible measure of fast your machine can encode a short HD-quality video clip into a high quality x264 video file. It’s nice because everyone running it will use the same video clip and software. The video encoder (x264.exe) reports a fairly accurate internal benchmark (in frames per second) for each pass of the video encode and it also uses multi-core processors very efficiently. All these factors make this an ideal benchmark to compare different processors and systems to each other.
What’s x264? It’s more or less the next generation Xvid/DivX codec.
This is what we like to see, when the underdog comes back for the final bout. The Zotac gave 2FPS more in comparison at Pass 1 and just under 1FPS in Pass 2, showing us that the H67-ITX WiFi really is perfect for rendering HD content, making it perfect for use as a HTPC.
