P45 Showdown - Asus P5Q Deluxe vs MSI P45 Diamond
Synthetic CPU & Memory Results
Published: 27th May 2008 | Source: Overclock3D | Price: TBA |
SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility capable of benchmarking the performance of individual components inside a PC. Each of the benchmarks below were run a total of five times with the highest and lowest scores being discarded and an average being calculated from the remaining three.
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 3.
Result Observations
The scores are pretty evenly matched with the MSI just barely taking the lead in the majority of tests due to the extra bandwidth provided by DDR3.

Great review Rich 
Not sure about the conclusion although I agree about the overclocking. If the MSI board is a good price then with the extra's it's a definate contenderQuote

QuoteThis board could be the new price performance king according to the early prices some shops got listed, espacially with the 2 x 8 Xfire implented this could be a great replacement for my current P5K Deluxe, tempting

QuoteGood review. Does anyone know if the mid-range P45 boards will support x8 + x8 XFire or if it's just on the high-end ones? I'm glad P45 is coming out soon, hopefully be able to combine it with a good PCI-e 2.0 card once all the new ones come out and settle down in price.Quote
