CoreEL has tested its IP cores with ITU-T test vectors from the standardization body itself and industry accepted conformance bit-streams from Fraunhofer Institute. The core has also been tested with professional bit-streams from Panasonic / Mitsubishi for Intra-frame decoder testing.
Core Codec Core AVC Professional 3.0
CoreAVC Professional EditionCoreAVC is known in the industry as being the standard for playback of high quality H.264 video. CoreAVC allows you to directly offload video decoding with either NVIDIA CUDA*, ATI with Microsoft's DirectX Video Acceleration* (DXVA) interface for any Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 PC.

The rise of video stream services, especially live services, has accelerated the need for dynamic and on-the-fly conversion of video content and the infrastructure to do so. Moving from HD to FHD and 4K as well as 360-degree video requires a lot of immediate compute power in order to keep up with the event being filmed, as well as keeping enough quality in tow to maintain the user experience. Traditionally there are three ways to do this: raw CPU horsepower, FPGAs, custom fixed-function ASICs, or GPUs. In line with this, Intel is releasing their new E3-1500 v5 series of processors with a primary focus on Intel Quick Sync. These are Skylake based CPUs, using four cores with hyperthreading, but are backed with Iris Pro graphics with the 72 execution units available and a redesigned embedded DRAM to accelerate computation over the previous generation.
Also aimed at high density, but also for the lowest total cost of ownership, are the new E3-1500 v5 CPUs using second generation eDRAM and Iris Pro graphics with Skylake cores. With Intel Quick Sync integrated into the processor, Intel aims this as an HEVC streaming solution with new features.
A further note to add into the mix. It would seem that Intel is (at least in part of the product stack) dedicated to the Iris Pro strategy of bundling embedded DRAM with their CPU cores. We remember that a number of review websites and analysts were particularly praising about the commercial release of the Broadwell editions for consumers, and requested that Intel expand this program. Based on what we heard in this announcement, I feel (personal injection) that Intel will most likely keep eDRAM enabled parts in the embedded space, and particularly for Xeons, for the foreseeable future.
We conducted our undervolting tests with the CPU running at 1.6GHz. The boardwas Prime95 stable at 0.925V, but setting the voltage that low prevented thesystem from POSTing on a cold boot. It would not startup with less than 1.025VvCore. Compared to the Asus M4A785TD-Vrunning at the same voltage, the 890GPA-UD3H used 6W less when idle, but 5Wmore during Blu-ray playback and on full CPU load, and an additional 12W whenthe GPU was stressed as well due to the faster HD 4290 graphics core.
You may have heard a lot about high-efficiency video coding or HEVC recently. Apple integrated this next-generation codec into MacOS High Sierra, and professional NLEs FCP X and Premiere Pro now support it. Other hardware and software vendors keep announcing new support almost every month. 2ff7e9595c
