Transcoding videos can be a long process. But lately ther has been advancements to use BOTH the GPU and CPU to work together and generate the video conversition. Which Even though the Intel Q8200 has a bit more pure processor power, it has nearly no graphical power resulting it in once again failin short.
3DMark06
3DMark®06 is the worldwide standard in advanced 3D game performance benchmarking. A fundamental tool for every company in the PC industry as well as PC users and gamers, 3DMark06 uses advanced real-time 3D game workloads to measure PC performance using a suite of DirectX 9 3D graphics tests, CPU tests, and 3D feature tests. 3DMark06 tests include all new HDR/SM3.0 graphics tests, SM2.0 graphics tests, AI and physics driven single and multiple cores or processor CPU tests and a collection of comprehensive feature tests to reliably measure next generation gaming performance today.
3DMark tests the graphical performance of your computer, although this is mostly dependent on the graphics card installed, a good portion of the test depends on the processor.

The Intel Q8200 was able to well outperform the Athlon II 620 in the CPU portion of 3DMark06, but when it came to test the graphical abilities of the platform, Intels G41 chipset crumbed and ruined the headstart that it had.
wow. is this review completely insisting in using the only benchmarks where the AMD processors could win…..allied to the platform? use CPU tests more than overall platform tests, because if you dont you are effectively saying that everyone who buy these will use onboards graphics of a cheap platform, when in truth most will probably use the Q8200 on a different board and add discrete graphics i would say….
