Special Pentium III Software Performance - Microsoft Netshow Encoder

Netshow Encoder is a bit of an odd software to most of us. It converts AVI-files (videos compressed with motion-JPEG, not MPEG!) to a special format that makes those videos 'streamable' via the Internet. I would have preferred a decent MPEG1-encoder software or even some kind of MPEG2-encoder, which would mean a lot more to the majority of people. However, I will let Intel off for choosing this program, since it's so nicely PIII-optimized and it can at least give some idea of how well PIII performs at video encoding. Take the results with a grain of salt, the benchmark comes directly from Intel!


You can see how much of a great job Intel did by choosing this software and we should congratulate Microsoft for providing support of SSE, but not of 3DNow!-enhancements. I guess it's not the first time that Microsoft is twisting the competition a bit and as long as AMD can't or won't kick some ass in Redmond, things will probably just stay the same. OK, so let's tag this benchmark with 'Yes, I've seen it!' and quickly move on to the next one.
