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 spend encoding the 25Mbps MPEG-2 video stream and not actually creating the Blu-ray disc itself.

    Good, you have bought an Intel product, you will happy with it. I believe you will never buy AMD products, because their products are crap and can not win the benchmark.

    I have an AMD/ATI 4850 video card I bought a year and a half ago and it's working just fine. I don't expect Intel to have a competitive offering for a long time.

    It will change with Larrabee. I believe you will buy Intel Larrabee, because simple choice will make you happy with Intel standards.

    Yeah, I want it soon. Intel will crush them in the low end segment too. I want Intel own all PC Market if Intel have been successfully made AMD's cash empty. AMD is whine too much, so Intel must punish AMD until dead.

    Ohh, I've never read anything from snakeoil yet so I was seeing him more like Intel's SiliconDoc.

    Boy, you're not kidding. Put those two together and there be fireworks.

    It probably is snakeoil, he leaves out a couple of words here and there to make it sound like he comes from some non english speaking country instead of his mums basement...
