With
both motherboards using the exact same CPU and memory, we are
able to discern which utilizes what it has effectively. Granted
this is a synthetic result, but it should give us a nice idea
of what the boards can do.
In
the CPU arithmetic allows the DFI to hedge out the ECS at stock
speeds, although the margin is very close. CPU multimedia is given
to ECS, once again, only by a slim margin.
The
memory benchmark goes the way of ECS at stock speeds, once again,
it’s a virtual tie.
What
has this shown us? Well, what it shows me is that the much less
expensive ECS KN1 has kept itself within 1% of the DFI on this
first run of tests, boding very well for the newcomer in this
particular lineup.
Sysmark
This
is a newer test for Viperlair, and from what I could see running,
well flying by, as the test’s proceeded, appears to be a
real world attempt. This benchmark launches MS Office applications
creating web pages and moving pictures and text in-between word,
excel and power point and Macromedia flash etc. Something one
might actually do (well, maybe with the exception of Front Page).
Once again our scores are almost identical, with DFI taking Office
and ECS taking Content.
PiFast
Interestingly
here, ECS has managed an almost 2 second advantage at stock speeds.
TMPGEnc
MPEG Encoding
With
SSE3 built into the Venice cores, we are seeing the AMD times
drop significantly on these scores. This is not a virtual tie
between the ECS and the DFI, it is a tie. 3 runs each and they
were all within 1 second of each other.
