Code:

T:\Winfast>x264_new --bitrate 2000 --preset veryfast -o out.mp4 "Video0914-0100(
TV35).mpg"
ffms [info]: 768x576p 1:1 @ 25/1 fps (vfr)
x264 [info]: using SAR=1/1
x264 [info]: using cpu capabilities: MMX2 SSE2Fast SSSE3 Cache64
x264 [info]: profile High, level 3.1
[46.3%] 626/1351 frames, 117.82 fps, 2056.03 kb/s, eta 0:00:06

On a Q6600 overclocked at 3 Ghz. With medium, it goes down to about 30 fps.

roya: No point linking to the other forum, as it's just a general discussion about the new features in that processor, not something particular about this video engine.

Otherwise, I agree with Mulder, it won't be something exposed like SSE or MMX instructions... I believe it will probably be something like DXVA and programmers will probably just be able to configure some parameters exposed through the video driver. It won't be something like Cuda or OpenCL, which allows you to offload some parts or all the computing in the processors.
