Head to Head comparison: AMD Puma vs Intel Montevina on Blu-Ray playback and Iron Man video game
Backhttp://www.uberpulse.com/us/2008/08/599_desktop_duel_how_can_an_amd_triplecore_system_beats_an_intel_quad_on_bluray_playback.php Moorhead compares two $599 PCs playing a Blu-Ray movie. One with an AMD Phenom triple-core and the other with an Intel Quad chip, and both with an integrated graphic chip. The Intel system had a much higher CPU utilisation level. And when Moorhead launched an encoding task, the Intel machine peaked at 100% utilisation, affecting the movie playback, where the AMD machine showed a 50% CPU utilisation. "One thing I want to point to is the low CPU utilisation. [On the AMD desktop it was 10-30% and about 70% on the Intel PC]. One of the reasons why this is important on the desktop because once you get a CPU utilisation above a certain threshold, your fan kicks-in, the systems starts to get a lot hotter and probably more importantly is that you're going need that extra CPU space if your background tasks kicks-in as you are watching a movie. This could be Windows Defender. It could be a virus protection. And in this example, we are kicking-on an iTunes audio encode, from a WAV file to AAC... The AMD system's utilisation is a bit higher and Intel's reached 100%... And you'll see some frames dropping".
