Hi -
I've been using myth for quite a while for standard def, and
starting to plan for an HD system.
I've been reading the posts, and the general consensus seems to the
that (single core) Intel processors have a performance advantage over
AMDs. The benchmarks below seem to confirm this
It looks like this may change with dual-core processors. The
following benchmark compares 4 processors:
AMD Athlon 64 4000+ (single core)
Intel P4 660 (single core)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ (dual core)
Pentium D840 (dual core)

Judging from the benchmarks, it appears that AMD has a performance
advantage over Intel once dual-core becomes mainstream (assuming that
the encoding performance in these benchmarks will be roughly
equivalent to MPEG-2 decoding performance)
Guess we'll have to wait until some of us can get our hands on them to
know for sure.
Just thought I'd throw this out there.
Dave
