Benchmarks Of 45 Linux Systems From Atoms, Athlons & Phenoms To Xeons

With all of that, here are the results from this very large and interesting comparison... First up, the x264 video encode results.

To no surprise, the Intel Haswell Xeon E5-1680 v3 was the fastest of the systems being tested... Followed by the various Intel Extreme Edition $1000+ CPUs. Slowest in the farm was the Atom E3825 Bay Trail and AMD E APUs.

The fastest Intel systems can compile the Apache web server in under 30 seconds while the slowest systems take more than five minutes.
