AMD Athlon X2 7850 vs. Intel Pentium E5300: Choosing the Best $70 CPU

Sony Vegas Pro 8: Blu-ray Disc Creation
Although technically a test simulating the creation of a Blu-ray disc, the majority of the time in our Sony Vegas Pro benchmark is spent encoding the 25Mbps MPEG-2 video stream and not actually creating the Blu-ray disc itself.
Intel ends up slightly ahead in our Blu-ray creation test, once again an encoding benchmark but using the MPEG-2 codec rather than DivX, x264 or WMV.
Sorenson Squeeze: FLV Creation
Another video related benchmark, we're using Sorenson Squeeze to convert regular videos into Flash videos for use on websites.
The roles reverse and AMD pulls ahead in our Flash Video creation test but by only 5%.

Can't see the 5300 outdoing the 5200 really. At best it might equal it or not be as good. I Don't even see why anyone would buy the 5300 for overclocking at all.. (unless ofcourse the 5200 is at the end of it's line)as a guesstimate...
5300 might get anywhere from 3.8-4.0+
4850 would get anywhere from 3.1-3.3+
End of overclock guestimate review (grin)
(on article topic.. Great review. Mixed bag of results really and once you factor in budget chipset boards it clouds the choice even further)

Definately would like to see some overclocking with a mid range coolerErif - Tuesday, April 28, 2009 - link
Yes, I'd like to see how the 7850 OCes compared to my 7750.johnsonx - Wednesday, April 29, 2009 - link
There's unlikely to be any different at all between a 7850 and 7750; any differences would be the normal chip to chip variability in overclocking. It's not a comparison even worth doing.Doc01 - Tuesday, July 27, 2010 - link
