Similar to the test with Photoshop, this is a benchmarking that uses real applications in order to show the performance of the processors we reviewed.

DVD Shrink is a program to create backups of DVDs. It can remove the DVDs copy protection, compact and reduce its size in order to let you Record a double layer DVD9 movie into a single layer DVD5.

Our benchmarking consisted in measuring the amount of time the system took to create an ISO image of the film "Syriana" to the hard disk. For this test, we used all the program’s default options.

Check out the results below.

Once more, the lower number the better, since the value indicates the number of minutes. It took Sempron 3000+ 1 minute and 69 seconds less to complete the DVD image creation to the hard disk, finishing the task in 22 minutes and 43 seconds, while it took the Intel CPU 24 minutes and 12 seconds.
