I'm interested in using one of the following for transcoding hi res material into low res proxies:
Intel® Atom™ x7-E3950 (4 x 1.6 / 2.0 GHz, 2MB L2 cache, 12W)
Intel® Atom™ x5-E3940 (4 x 1.6 / 1.8 GHz, L2 cache 2MB, 9W)
Intel® Atom™ x5-E3930 (2 x 1.3 / 1.8 GHz, L2 cache 1MB, 6.5W)
We'd like to encode as H.264 or H.265 relying on the Quick Sync technology that's part of the 9th Generation Graphics.
Other than the clock rate & the number of cores, I'm trying to find out what performance differences there are between the Quick Sync blocks in these processors. Are there any real world benchmarks?
Again, focusing on the Quick Sync block, I'm also curious to know how many video encoding streams each atom could handle concurrently.
I'm also curious to know what the encoding performance difference between a new generation Xeon Core with embedded FGA (I understand Intel Media Server Studio supports transcoding on the FPGA via OpenCL) & a Quick Sync enabled Atom (I know the comparison sound ridiculous) would be.
Finally, I understand that at one point Intel produced the E600C family of Atoms with embedded FPGAs. Is there a current equivalent? Would that be faster than Quick Sync?
