S11 and dual-core processors
A little bit behind (and old news I forget to publish...). The sites Clubic.com (french) and Tom's hardware (english) have used the latest version of Studio 11 for testing on a record of project HD 1080i format MPEG2.
The graph above is self-explanatory and shows that Studio 11 uses hyper-threading and takes advantage of quad-core processors. The Core 2 Extreme QX6850 Intel ® comes in first and is nearly two times better than the 64x2 6000 + AMD Athlon ®.
