Intel Core 2 CPU refresh – QX6850 and E6750
HEXUS – Jul 16, 2007
However the reality is that few people using PCs only carry out one task ata time – they have lots of apps on the go and that’s whenthe true benefit of multi-coreprocessors can be seen. For our first test we run our DivX encoding benchmark whileplayingback a 720p QuickTime-encoded video. Werecord the total timestaken to compete the DivX encode and compare them with theoriginalDivX-only results. Naturally we also take a look at theQuickTime playback to see ifwe can spot any dropped frames during playback. After that we run the DivX encoding test at the sametimeas ourQuake 4 game test. This allows us to see how a heavy multi-threadedload affects the performance of the DivX encoding and the impact on theperformance of Quake 4… However the reality is that few people using PCs only carry out one task ata time – they have lots of apps on the go and that’s whenthe true benefit of multi-coreprocessors can be seen.

Displacement of reliable enterprise solutions simply don’t occur very often. The same can be said in networking technologies too. A company like DivX(.

For what I paid for it this is an excellent I REPEAT EXCELLENT TV. As of this writing I’ve had the TV a total of 2 days. I’ve hooked up a Phillips upscaling DIVX player using three different hookups – Composite Component and HDMI. Then I watched both regular DVD and high-quality (700+MB) DIVX rips on it through each connection. Through HDMI with upscaling on a regular DVD you’d be hard pressed to tell the difference between a regular DVD and Discovery Channel HD (considered by many to be the best HD channel currently). However any sort of DIVX on this TV seems to suffer even through HDMI. For testing purposes I ripped the movies Children of Men and Hannibal Rising… As of this writing I’ve had the TV a total of 2 days.

During daylight scenes the picture was clear – though nowhere near HD quality.

DivX on the overclocked E6750 was significantlyfaster taking 27 seconds off the stock time and comingwithin 10 seconds of the QX6800. CINEBENCH with its superior multi-core scaling is less kindto theoverclocked E6750 but resulted in 1834 CINEMarks for the overclockedQX6850 – the highestscore seen so far in the HEXUS labs… DivX on the overclocked E6750 was significantlyfaster taking 27 seconds off the stock time and comingwithin 10 seconds of the QX6800.

As for games I wanted to see them play some 2d games which I’m sure it could handle. Can it play multiple mpeg movies simultaneously? They didn’t show how it handles multimedia etc. r try to stress out MorphS to show what it could handle. And the system specs are just too low – that only the real enthusiasts will end up buying it. If they want to get serious they need to up the specs to something more realistic as outlined in my previous post and create a good demo video to show off MorphS on the Efika.
