Video Encoding
The majority of contemporary codecs are optimized for systems with multi-core processors. As a result, Intel V8 platform again shows unprecedented performance. Although we would like to add that in some cases, such as encoding with Xvid codec, the advantage of the eight-core system over a quad-core one with Core 2 Extreme processor is not that tremendous any more. It could be high latency of the memory subsystem in i5000X based platform again.
