Rendering Time

[Cuc Tu]

The new i7 2700K built up nicely, is still a bit underclocked from stock. Took a ten minute video of 720p60 and turned it sideways in Premier Elements 10 and re-rendered. I was pleased that it took 5 min 10 sec... That would have taken about an hour on my P4 2.8 HT.

Note that PE10 is running the 64-bit version. Ram use was around 6GB (of 16GB), CPU was only 85% (8 cores), HDD total I/O was 24MB/s (SATA6)...maybe the ram speed was limiting? It's running at 1333, but should be able to run 1600 stock.

I was using resource monitor in Win7.

Why is CPU not pegged and why in the RAM area did it say 110%?

But 2x real time! :D

Any insight to Intel's

I'm not making much headway on this, other than to find others with the same questions not being answered, even by the Gurus at Adobe. After reading the Intel forums on the quick sync video technology, the results are hit and miss, and the prototype seems to have been released as more of a proof of concept, with expectations placed on 2nd and 3rd party developers - perhaps future product releases or extreme enthusiasts...

I was able to verify GPU accelerated encoding using AMDs encoder. This resulted in a 40% speed increase when encoding mpeg2 640x480 10Mbps up to H.264 1080p30 25Mbps with CPU usage down to ~12% compared to using Premiere Elements 10. There is not much use in this as you can merely convert from one format to another.
