It's a 3700+ Socket 754. And that's fast, however.. If you're thinking of using this for a MCEBox, then I'm not sure where the end hitch is. Also, note in the link you have the idea of how much % faster it is, etc. etc. when using WMV. Here, you're going to MPG. TMPG has all the features to take care of on Intel's end, but not so much on the AMD64 end. Right now, to my knowledge, only Nero Recode really makes use of the AMD64 with decent encoding speeds.
Re-Encoding right now is one of the few things that, based on the tools available, Intel does very well in.
