Results: Audio And Video Encoding
Our audio transcoding apps are single-threaded, so the Core i7-4770K’s superior Haswell architecture shines. From there, AVADirect’s higher overclock results in a lead over the ASRock M8-based build.
We expected the six-core chips in our SBM system and Lenovo's box to convey a huge advantage in our well-threaded video transcoding tests, but that didn't happen. The AVADirect and ASRock systems don't lose by much.
