** One station utilized the SE1000, while the other relied solely on a 3GHz Intel Core 2 Quad CPU to transcode 1080p H.264 video to 480p. According to onlookers, the SpursEngine-based machine completed the task nearly twice as fast as the hamstrung opponent, **

Its Twice as Fast as Quad Core 2 3.000 so it should be still little faster than Core i7 3GHZ (Since as far as i know Core i7 is not double the power of Quad 2 however its still faster than Quad 2 by 30%~ according to reviews)]]>May 12th 2009 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/winfast-hpvc1100-is-worlds-first-external-spursengine-encoder/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/winfast-hpvc1100-is-worlds-first-external-spursengine-encoder/
Does this thing work with any software like adobe premium and sony vegas? or the software needs to be optimized for it like Nvidia CUDA?
Cause if it work with anything then i wont need to upgrade my Core 2 Duo laptop and save myself a 1000$ and do all my editing even faster]]>May 12th 2009 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/winfast-hpvc1100-is-worlds-first-external-spursengine-encoder/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/winfast-hpvc1100-is-worlds-first-external-spursengine-encoder/]]>May 12th 2009 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/winfast-hpvc1100-is-worlds-first-external-spursengine-encoder/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/winfast-hpvc1100-is-worlds-first-external-spursengine-encoder/
The hardware is good but the software is terrible and requires specialized versions of the encoder apps from winfast, if the spursengine ever gets OpenCL support and so does x264 then it may be useful but till then it's a waste of time unless you don't care about quality.]]>May 12th 2009 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/winfast-hpvc1100-is-worlds-first-external-spursengine-encoder/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/winfast-hpvc1100-is-worlds-first-external-spursengine-encoder/May 13th 2009 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/winfast-hpvc1100-is-worlds-first-external-spursengine-encoder/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/winfast-hpvc1100-is-worlds-first-external-spursengine-encoder/

Surely a GTX 285 or ATI 4890 will encode faster than a cell chip and cost a whole chunk less, laptops have their fair share of powerful GPU's too :)]]>May 12th 2009 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/winfast-hpvc1100-is-worlds-first-external-spursengine-encoder/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/winfast-hpvc1100-is-worlds-first-external-spursengine-encoder/May 13th 2009 2:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/winfast-hpvc1100-is-worlds-first-external-spursengine-encoder/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/winfast-hpvc1100-is-worlds-first-external-spursengine-encoder/May 12th 2009 3:05PM
