With nearly default settings, a system with 8 cores/CPUs at work is able 
to encode a video of 1920x1080 at 27fps.

The actual commandline used was:
x264 -threads X -q 20 -o test.264 video-1920x1080.yuv

I'm not sure whether it is actually a system with 4 CPU's each being 
dual-cores or 2 CPU's each being quad-cores.

Attached a very unscientific plot of x264 encoding full hd using 
different numbers of threads.

With friendly regards,
Takis
