Asus P7P55D EVO P55 Motherboard – Performance Revealed

 

 

 

 

Everest is in many ways similar to Sisoft Sandra. Focusing mainly on software and hardware information reporting, Everest also comes with a benchmark utility suitable for testing the read, write and latency performance of the memory subsystem. Each of these benchmarks were performed a total of 5 times with the highest and lowest scores being discarded and an average calculated from the remaining three.
 

 

 

 

 

 

Sisoft Sandra and Lavalys Everest showed contrasting results here with Sandra placing the i5 setup behind both the i7 and AMD setups. Everest however placed the i5 between the two rigs. One has to bear in mind that the i5 and AM3 test beds were running at 1333MHz  with just 4GB of DDR3 though while the i7 was running 6GB at 1600MHz which will account for the huge difference in performance here. Never the less, if Everest is to be believed, the i5 setup is certainly capable.
