AV Digital Content Creation / Media Encoding
Virtualdub / DivX 6.7
Virtualdub 1.7.1 and higher with DivX 6.7 are optimized for SSE4 instructions to provide a significant performance gain over encoding in SSE2 mode. A 66 MB mpg file was converted to AVI format using the DivX 6.7 CODEC.
The CODEC settings were specified as Experimental SSE4 full search set to:

All Intel CPU-related data shown were acquired using the ASUS P5K3 with DDR3 running at the highest memory frequency supported for any given CPU - depending on the host bus frequency specification of the processor. Since the memory runs in syncronous mode at its fastest setting, the 1333 MHz processors (333 MHz bus clock) were capable of taking advantage of the same memory frequency, whereas the 1067 MHz CPUs (266 MHz bus clock) were running DDR3 at 1067 MHz data rate and the P4 840 Extreme Edition accessed the memory at 800 MHz. All Phenom-related data were obtained with the ASUS M3A32 MVP-Deluxe
MPG to AVI conversion SSE4 disabled
Encoding time in seconds: lower is better!
SSE4 enabled using SSE2 or SSE4 (Yorkfield)
Interestingly, regardless of whether SSE4 is enabled or not, the X9850 is quite a bit faster than the 9900.
