ASUS P8P67 Motherboard Review
AIDA64
AIDA64 implements a set of 64-bit benchmarks to measure how fast the computer performs various data processing tasks and mathematical calculations. Memory and cache benchmarks are available to analyze system RAM bandwidth and latency. Processor benchmarks utilize MMX, 3DNow! and SSE instructions, and scale up to 32 processor cores. For legacy processors all benchmarks are available in 32-bit version as well. AIDA64 Disk Benchmark determines the data transfer speed of hard disk drives, solid-state drives, optical drives, and flash memory based devices.
Cache & Memory Benchmark
Firstly, the Q9550S on X48.
Then the i7-2600K on P67.
This is a clear indication that the new platform provides a considerable increase in cache and memory operations due mostly to the new CPU architecture. The P67 Express chipset facilitates this well and the ASUS P8P67 performs admirably. The Core i7-2600K sweeps this test over the Core 2 Quad Q9550S.
Love the EFI bios!
Why such dramatic differences with certain games? Sometimes this new P67 board wins by nearly 100% over the older Core2 Q9550 platform, but the older platform wins by even larger margins in older games?!?
An interesting find, thanks Leon Hyman. It’s baffling and also a bit disappointing.
WTH happened with 2600k in several gaming tests??
I presume it’s not MSI, so what’s happening with Intel chipsets lately?
I meant it’s not ASUS’s fault xD
