The Mainconcept test results indicate that the program actually takes advantage of multiple cores, as the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 performs the conversions in the least amount of time. The Athlon 64 X2 6000+ also has quite fast conversion times and ends up with performance similar to the Core 2 Duo E6600.

The scene doesn't change in the DV to WMV conversion tests, and the Athlon 64 X2 6000+ has conversion times identical to the Core 2 Duo E6600.

Our final multimedia application performance analysis ends with backing up a DVD film to a hard drive, setting DVD Shrink to compress the DVD to 2000MB. For the most part Core 2 Duo processors have the fastest compression times, while the Athlon 64 X2 6000+ is 8 seconds faster than the Core 2 Duo E6300. The Athlon 64 FX-62 is two seconds faster than the X2 6000+, primarily because it has a faster memory speed.
