AMD Athlon 64 4000+ & FX-55 (at anandtech)

[Wilbert]

Interesting comparison. Normally they only test DivX, but this time also XviD (although I don't know which version):

1) DivX 5.2.1 with AutoGK (PIV 560 3.6 GHz winner)
2) XviD with AutoGK (Athlon 64 FX-55 2.6 GHz winner)
3) Windows Media Encoder 9 (Athlon 64 FX-55 2.6 GHz winner)
4) Windows Media Encoder 9 (HD) (PIV 560 3.6 GHz winner)

On a similar note, the Nforce 4 boards were reviewed today. PCI-Express, SLI, Athlon 64 Socket 749. I'll let you read the rest.
