every test that has ever been run shows Intel way in the lead when
it comes to encoding. Granted recording something on a TV tuner is
slower, and different then just flat out encoding ... a job in which
Intel just shines. For one thing all the encoding, and editing
software are written to take advantage of Intel processors. I have
yet to see a single video program optimized for AMD while all the
big players, Adobe, TMPenc, Ulead, Cinamacraft, Cyberlink are all
optimized for P4s, Hyperthreading, or multi core / and or dual processors.
AMD will do the job, but if you are starting from scratch, I don't
think anyone would recommend anything but Intel.
Do you need to encode quickly to run a PVR?
