Asus P5K P35 Socket 775 Motherboard
Results - Cinebench & 3DMark
Published: 4th June 2007 | Source: Asus | Price: |
Cinebench is a benchmarking tool based on the powerful 3D software Cinema 4D. Consequently, the results of tests conducted using cinebench carry significant weight when analysing a computer’s performance in everyday use.
Once again, the P5B takes the lead, but only by a small and fairly insignificant margin. It's certainly looking like this is going to be the pattern through all of our benchmarks, but let's move on to some of the 3D-Based benchmarks to see how the P5K fairs there.
3DMark 05/06
3DMark is a popular synthetic gaming benchmark used by many gamers and overclockers to gauge the performance of their PC's. As with all other benchmarks, 3DMark runs were performed 3 times with averages being calculated from each of the results.

Yet again, nothing new to report. 3DMark05 shows a definite preference for the P965 chipset, with the P5B board taking 530 point lead over the P5K. 3DMark06 is a much closer race, with the P5K still in 2nd place, but only by 28 points.

If not P965 tbh
EDIT: Am I right in saying 680i supports the new Intel CPU's? If so I'll have an IN9

However, if you're thinking of going 45nm, then it's got to be P35. Just beware that afaik the P5K isn't 100% guaranteed to support Penryn when it comes out - much the same situation as the early Asus boards that supported Conroe....but didn't.
great review, love the little bit of overclocking done to a good-ish CPU too.
as i have just purchased one of these, i intend on posting my results too.
however, i think if you (like me) are moving to c2d for the first time, or are just making a new build with some amount of overclocking in mind, then the p5k dlx is just for you.
i think especially with current ddr2 prices, that it would be silly to move upto ddr3 so soon (remember how ddr2 rolled out, ddr1 was still king for many months until faster and tighter ddr2 came out) as you can probably buy 8gb of decent ddr2 for the same price (obviously for 4x2gb kits) as a single 1gb or 2gb kit of ddr3.
just my 2p worth...
