Benchmarks II
The graph displays the time taken to convert 609MB of WAV files into 192kb/s MP3 format. U2's Pop album provides the WAV files, and a combination of a RazorLAME front-end and LAME 3.92 is used to crunch the files into the smaller format..
Media encoding was undertaken with XMPEG v5.02 and DivX Pro 5.05. The test was to encode the first VOB of American History X using a bitrate of 1000kb/s and a resolution of 720x384. Benchmark mode was limited to the first 5,000 frames and no sound was encoded. Black borders were cropped too. A change in position, although the difference is minute.
The Soltek is back on top in our Raytracing Benchmark. Incidentally, the numbers derived from the Barton XP2500+ are greater than that from a stock 3.2GHz P4. Take from that what you will. Download it from here. It's the v1.10. We'll be migrating to the 2004 benchmark in due course.
KribiBench is an easy-to-use benchmark from Adept Development. It's a software (read subsystem) renderer that's capable of rendering amazingly complex scenes. The benchmark can be downloaded from here and features models with 16.7 billion polygons. The test is the rather easier Jetshadow model with the realistic setting. The EPoX edges out the Soltek mini barebones here.
