Results - Cinebench 10 and XMpeg 5.03 (DivX 6.8 Encoding)
Cinebench 10 being a highly-threaded synthetic rendering benchmark, naturally lapped up the extra logical processing cores of the Core i7 processors with HyperThreading enabled and thus obtained much higher results in this benchmark. Comparing against the Core 2 Quad 9550, it's evident that the Phenom II is still slower and is mostly in-line with the same discrepancy of it floating-point results from the SPEC CPU tests.
Moving on to video encoding using XMpeg and the latest DivX 6.8, we never thought we would say this anytime soon, but it looks like the Phenom II X4 955 is a winner here as it made a beeline for the best performance in its price segment. Both the Core 2 Quad 9550 and the Core i7-920 processors lost out to AMD's latest offering by a small margin. These results again tally with our detailed breakdown in SYSmark 2007 where the Phenom II X4 955 again showed who's boss (even if it's by a small degree).
