Since FlaskMPEG is getting a little bit outdated, we've
decided to include a new version benchmark for our MPEG to
DivX encoding analysis,
Xmpeg. We did however, utilize the same DivX 5.02
codec in each test, as well as the same video source MPEG
file, an 18.6MB clip from the old time afternoon sit-com,
Gomer Pyle.

First up, we'll
show you the results from the FlaskMPEG run we
performed.
The 2.8GHz
Pentium 4, with either PC1066 or PC800 RDRAM, beats out the
2600+ by a comfortable margin, 12+% to be exact. However, at 2.53GHz,
once again the Pentium 4 needs PC1066 RDRAM speeds to
compete. Finally, the Athlon XP 2200+ brings up the
rear but that was to be expected.
Here we've
isolated our test to the only the top end test-beds from
Intel and AMD. Xmpeg shows a larger spread between the
P4 2.8GHz with PC1066 memory and the Athlon XP 2600+.
There is almost a 24% differential between the high end P4
and AMD's finest. With a PC800 setup the 2.8GHz
Pentium 4 still beats out the 2600+ by about 15% or so.
Anyway you slice it the 2.8GHz P4 has a clear advantage
versus a 2.133GHz AMD Athlon XP 2600+, when it comes to
compressing and decompressing video streams.
