Yes, though our prime interest is decoding (though people doing lots of transcoding will want to look at encoding benchmarks, though ideally mp2 to mp4 benchmarks.) I see a much more dramatic difference there, though some of it may also come from the better memory bandwidth I am getting on my P4 system over my Athlon XP 3000 systems. I don't know if that's the chipset or the 800mhz FSB or the CPU or what. A 10% difference for example, might lean you to the lower-heat Athlon. However I am seeing a much larger difference on the decoding which is what we care most about, and would love to see other people's numbers, especially for celerons and Athlon64s in 64 bit mode.
