Phoronix Suite: Memory Read / Write

Phoronix Suite: SuperPI and FF-Mpeg

Lower values are better performance, not much variance here as they both fly. Encoding a little Video works the system a little harder and tests all functions of the Motherboard, the P55/i5 once again outperform.

Phoronix Suite: I/O Zone

With the P55/i5 including the SATA controls within, it gets a nice performance boost over the X58/i7, this is impressive considering they have been released within a year of each other. The other test's covered within I/O is compressing a 2GB file and how many SSL signatures / second the system can handle, with the P55 enhancements, once again the P55-GD80 outperforms.

Phoronix Suite: Audio Encoding

Here we see how the CPU / Memory and I/O function as a team, the P55/i5 proves once again, you put the entire system to work, and it just performs.
