AMD FX-8120 Black Edition CPU Review (with Asus M5A99X EVO)

Many people who have media systems will be familiar with the Matroska (.mkv) file format which is often used for high definition video. In this test we will be using VLC Media Player to play a 1080P MKV file while recording CPU usage using Performance Monitor.

Here we see quite similar performance between the two chips, although the Core i5 2500k has the slight edge.
