The results might be tightly bunched, but credit where it is due, the Strix finally gets off the bottom of the graph. It is, however, the worst performing at 2160P and the overclock doesn't make much of a difference.

I have to question Asus' motives these days. A gaming board for what is clearly meant as a workstation CPU (and small servers too I reckon), and this isn't the first of them. In fact they don't even make a workstation board for this CPU. I guess they expect only gamers to buy these CPU's, which seems strange to me.Quote

I dont think they expect to sell many at all. Mainly because of TR rather than the board itself.Quote
To be honest the only thing that looks uber about that board is the cover on the IO. Then you remove it and realise there's a pittance in there. Not enough phases either.
I am finding it hard to differentiate it too much from the B350 Strix. I know it has lanes and slots etc but what good is all that if the performance stinks?
Ed. I'm sorry, HOW MUCH?!?!?!?!

Which Bios where you using - current available as far as I can see is 0402? Any chance that you had a Spectre microcode update applied and or MS patch? Would account for a bit of performance drop.Quote
Nevermind, just realized it is AMD
