AMD 790GX Head to Head
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 three.
Results Conclusions
From the results above it would appear that the Gigabyte MA790GP-DS4H has the upper hand in all but the latency test. This is normally an early prediction of how the rest of the results pan out in the Intel Benchmarks but let’s see if the same is to be said of the AMD boards.
