Title: New PC is quick
Post by: Martin_1962 on 01 December 2008, 23:32:07
Doing a stress test with an MPEG encoder

2 pass VBR with highest quality is running at over 50 frames a second, all 4 cores maxed, while writing this.

This means that at fixed bit rate it could encode real time :o

Remember best quality settings not speed

Quick settings about 2 minutes for a 5 minute clip :o

That looks all very impressive, but i have no idea what you're talking about. Could i have a decoded in English version please :D :)

The english version is the post title, i.e "New PC is quick"   :D

heavy weight..

quad cpu and a good board..can be used as a server..

Its interesting as it just shows how inefficent these universal micros are....a DSP, good RISC or FPGA design would murder that little task.

Just remember I am running it at best for everything and going for a lowish bit rate for disc space

for specific tasks RISCS are better..thats true..

todays pc processors really have a very wide application set.

but trying to develop a multitier distributed application with assembler

language under a RISC platform would be a fireball to gulp.. :o

and still I would prefer an X86 chip in my miggy ;D with a keyboard

and monitor connected to it..

and electronic engineers are lucky by school as they see RISC assembly coding in lectures.. :y

Yup....the closest to high level languages i get is assembler...I still do the occasional bit of machine code!

I take it that you are RISC adverse then Cem :y

Out of interest what spec/build machines do you guys run for yourselves.  Or anyone else for that matter.

Nothing fancy....I only do a bit of CAD, run office apps and browser stuff.

Home is a 4 year old HP 3.2Ghz unit with 2G ram and 500G Samsung Sata drive.

Work is an IBM X31 laptop.....soon to be replaced with a HP.

nope..I like RISC assembly as their instruction set and memory

models are far simpler to use..

But problem is, in this country RISC programmers cant find good

salary jobs except the military area.. :-/

My home PC is at least 4x more powerful than my work PC - I'm going to install VO on it

P4 3Ghz (64Bit)
1GB Ram
256MB 6600GT PCie
300GB + 2 x 1TB Drives

Also have a 8800GTX but not doing any gaming at the moment so the card is sat to one side.  Supposed to be going in a Gigabyte Board with a Q6600.  4GB PC8500 but some daft p***k droped it all and cant get it to boot at the moment, not that there has been any time to check it yet. ::) :-/ :-/
