Results - Cinebench 10 and XMpeg 5.0.3 (DivX 6.8 encoding)
Cinebench 10 was another test where the Bloomfield Core i7 reigned supreme and by a substantial amount too. Even the Core i7-920 came in faster than the Core i7-870. With all the cores active, there was negligible improvement for enabling Turbo Boost while without HyperThreading, the Core i5-750 seemed to suffer the most here among the Nehalem CPUs.
In DivX encoding, having Turbo Boost is a must as we saw quite the impressive gain when that was enabled. Generally, all the Intel processors did not differ too much in the time taken for the encoding, with the Core 2 quad-cores remaining competitive. The slower clock speed of the Core i7-920 is probably a reason why it didn't fare too well here, coupled with the lack of the new Turbo Boost to ramp up its clocks.
