Audio Encoding and Video
Lame and OGG show no performance gains for four-core processing, with the dual-core Core 2 Duo E6750 leading the Core 2 Extreme QX6850 at all speeds.

The new DivX codec is obviously optimized for four-core processors, handing a win of greater than 100% to a processor that only has double the cores.
XviD normally encodes faster than DivX when dual-core processors are used, but we see the opposite occur with respect to the four-core Core 2 Extreme QX6850. The Core 2 Duo E6750 wins here.

Er, it might just be me, but where are the piccies??
haha, i dont see them either
Try disabling your adblock plus if ur using firefox. Others disable any ad blocker
Can anyone still not see them? They seem to be alright now...
Like many flight sim enthusiasts, I am trying to decide the most cost-effective CPU for FSX SP1. This can use multi-cores we're told but reports suggest not that well.
Could you add FSX SP1 (under Vista) to your benchmarks for CPUs please? I am particularly interested to know whether the E6850 is better than the Q6600 or not!
