No, not that I'm aware of. I base this though only on the playback of
two of my movies, and I don't know the codec they're using. One is 2001
A Space Odyssey (according to
http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDCompare6/2001.htm it is VC-1, don't
know from memory if this holds true for the german BD variant), and the
other is Wolverine, which though has been converted to a 1080p-MKV using
makemkv. As far as I know, no transcoding has been done on the file,
according to the same site, it is using MPEG-4 AVC Video).

It is my observation that the phenom II core is quite faster (even one
core at its own) than its predecessor, at least that are my observations
regarding transcoding speed & other such tasks.
