x264 FHD Benchmark

Evaluating the capabilities of a CPU is usually done by carrying out a series of benchmarks that can check the functioning of the processor in various scenarios. There are, nonetheless, some tests more targeted at specific parameters like video encoding performance and you can try one of these with x264 FHD Benchmark.

Simple interface with lots of information inside

The GUI of this application is very uncomplicated and it features just a couple of buttons that are all that's needed to start or stop the test and view the a comparison of the results.
As soon as the program is started, it will check the system processor and the info will be displayed inside the main window, alongside the real-time data concerning the progress of the running benchmark.

Thorough testing with a high quality video sample

The actual process that evaluates the CPU performance is presented with lots of details, so you can monitor the progress of the task and see the remaining time until the benchmark is completed.
This tool uses a Full HD movie clip as the target of the encoding job and the higher the numbers for the frame rate (FPS or frames per second), the better your processor will score.

Compare results with other testers

x264 FHD Benchmark has a dedicated area where you can check out what others have done, so you can put your score against them for purely informative reasons.
The result obtained by your system will be highlighted so you can set it apart from the rest of the list and see whether your configuration scored better or worse than others with similar configurations.

One-click benchmark for any CPU

All in all, x264 FHD Benchmark proves to be a reliable tool for assessing the speed of a processor using a video encoding test. For more complex and in-depth evaluations, other applications will be better suited, but this one does its job very well so it deserves a try.
