Intel P35 Motherboards Roundup Review
Performance tests
In our test setup, we used the following hardware:
We used a customary set of application benchmarks.
Let's first take a look at the results of synthetic benchmarks.
These are exclusively synthetic benchmarks which demonstrate the theoretical performance.
Now - tests of real applications (the red color stands for the results produced for DDR3).
We are not dwelling on the performance, because all the boards showed approximately the same performance. The difference in speed between the boards is small enough, and any slight update to the BIOS can turn the table upside down. Therefore, we'll be making the choice of a motherboard following different criteria such as operational stability, expansion options, package bundle, compatibility to various components , compatibility to memory modules, and the price of the boards.
It is much more interesting to look at the graph of overclocking results:
The latest BIOS versions for ASUS boards substantially increased the overclocking results and implemented the capabilities of the boards at the stage of designing. in particular, both the Blitz models overcame the 560 MHz bar; the same was for P5K3 Deluxe and Premium. And all the three P5K series boards overcame the 550 MHz bar!
Results for ASUS Blitz Extreme and Blitz Formula
