ASUS P5E64 WS Evolution X48 ATX Motherboard
June 17, 2008

Performance Testing:

The test system listed in the "Installation" section was used for the execution of all benchmarks, which will be broken up into two sections. In this first section, the raw performance of the system will be evaluated without regard for the influence of the various EPU settings. In the next section a few more tests will be executed, this time in order to evaluate a few different EPU profiles.

Performance testing will utilize the following applications:

» FutureMark PCMark Vantage
» PassMark Performance Test v6.1
» Lavalys Everest Ultimate Edition 4.20
» HD Tune 2.53
» FutureMark 3DMark06

EPU testing will then utilize the following applications:

» ASUS AI Suite
» OCCT 2.0.0a
» FutureMark 3DMark Vantage

For comparison purposes, the P5E64 WS Evolution will be matched up against some of its siblings... The ASUS P5KC and the ASUS P5K PRO. Both of these Intel P35 based motherboards were setup with the same exact hardware, except for the system memory. While the P5KC can use DDR3 or DDR2 memory, both of these boards were tested with a Kingston HyperX PC-9200 2GB DDR2 dual channel memory kit installed. The list below details the basic system settings used to make it a fairly level playing field.

» P5E64 WS - 3.2GHz CPU (8x 400MHz FSB), 1600MHz DDR3 Memory (9-9-9-28, 1.9V)
» P5K PRO - 3.2GHz CPU (8x 400MHz FSB), 1200MHz DDR2 Memory (5-5-5-15, 2.0V)
» P5KC - 3.2GHz CPU (8x 400MHz FSB), 1200MHz DDR2 Memory (5-5-5-15, 2.0V)

Other than the necessity to run different memory, the only other difference was the specific Windows Vista (32-Bit) drivers were installed for each motherboard.

FutureMark PCMark Vantage:

First up is FutureMark's PCMark Vantage, a suite of tests designed to analyze the performance of systems running Windows Vista. All of the results were recorded from the eight benchmarks executed, and higher is better for each value shown below.

Here we see that the scores are close, but that in general the P5E64 WS is generally the top dog. The total PCMark score is about 3.6% higher than the P5K PRO, and about 4.0% higher than the P5KC. While the difference in memory technology / speed may be a factor, other test suites may help clarify things more.
