Auto Gordian Knot using XviD
This test uses Auto Gordian Knot to create high quality XviD output of a 10 minute chop of the opening from Star Wars Episode 1 DVD. It's multi-threaded, supporting the multiple processors in each test system.
Using the XviD encoder, the Opteron is the clear winner, the Xeon system some 24.4% slower. The time reported is the time it takes to perform the complete encode, including 2-pass video, AC3-to-MP3 audio and the AV mux at the end. Again, the XviD performance shows that media encoding performance is dependant on the encoder used, as well as the processor.
