In the release notes for the Intel Media SDK for Clients, it states: "H.264 encoder (Intel Media SDK software library) is known to be slower on x64 platform than on win32 platform." I'd like to understand precisely what this means. Is this just referring to using the software H.264 encoding capabilities of the library (i.e. a software session, or MFX_IMPL_SOFTWARE)? Does it mean that either the hardware or software H.264 encoder is slower when a 64-bit Windows OS is used as opposed to a 32-bit Windows OS? Or, does it mean that the hardware or software H.264 encoder is slower for a 64-bit binary as opposed to a 32-bit binary? That is, on a 64-bit OS, for faster H.264 encoding, does it make sense to have a 32-bit binary as opposed to a 64-bit binary?
Thanks,
