HandBrake is a fantastic free program that can be used to convert video files to many common formats for portable devices. HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multi-platform, multi-threaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows.
We used the latest V 0.9.9 version.
For our testing today we are converting a 4.4GB 720p MKV file (1h:58mins) to MP4 format, using HandBrake's ‘Normal' profile, for playback on High-Resolution devices. This is a common procedure for many people and will give a good indication of system power.
In contrast to Media Espresso, Handbrake is very well optimised for multi-threaded processors and demands a high CPU utilisation percentage.
Both of the twelve-thread parts take assertive victories in our Handbrake video conversion test. The faster 4960X outperforms the 3930K by around 10%, while it beats the 4770K's performance by over 20.5%.
Epic stuff. skimmed over it before work this morning, bookmarked for a good read later today. Next on my list to place my 3930k.
Well at least it seems to overclock a bit better than Haswell. Good info on the core to core tests. 4770k is the most efficient processor on a core basis.
4960x looks like a solid processor, but I wish AMD could offer more of a challenge then Intel would be forced to drop their prices a little. it is very very expensive. Still, for the target audience of people who render etc looks like a great buy.
AMD , where are you!???
Great review, haven’t read all of it yet, but picked up some interesting info. Way out of my price range. im saving for a 4570k and a new mobo. always good reading these ultra high end reviews, just to dream !
wow a lot of work in this one. I do agree with eran earlier in the review. Intel are kick ass, but the prices are hard to swallow. 4770k for a bang to buck is much better, but same with the last generation. these 6 core CPU’s cost a small fortune.
Good work Mr Hill.
best review of this I have read today. I love INTEL!
Ah the perfect partner. Blows the heck out of the FX 9590.
Did ASUS provide a release date for the X79-Deluxe?
LqM, the Asus board will be hitting retailers in the coming days.
Asus would release more boards or just the deluxe?
I wont get the 4770k. 4820 is much better IMO
what are the boot times and boot options on the “Asus X79-Deluxe”?
