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 0.9.8 version.
For our testing today we are converting a 4.4GB 720p MKV file (1h:58mins) to MP4 format using HandBrake's ‘Normal' profile. This is a common procedure for many people and will give a good indication of system power.
Converting HD content shows that the AMD FX 4170 CPU cannot compete with the performance of Intel's similarly-priced models. Taking almost a quarter of the film's entire duration to convert it from MKV to MP4 format, regular media converters should look for a system with a different, more powerful processor.
I really dont like AMD systems, their CPUS are always very unpowered even for the price.
its becouse you have too alot money , if you have less you will chose amd and you will be happy , in game fps diference is low. and about multytasking you not using all programs in same time to feel diference.
Honestly, i used Ebuyer, found a rig more or less the same for £250, granted it has a smaller HDD, less RAM and only a built in AMD GPU, for an extra £50-£100 you can sort out the GPU and the RAM, which still leaves it £150 to £200 less than this rig, bargain in my eyes :3
