Performance

Memory Subsystem Synthetic Benchmarks

As usual we would like to start with the performance in synthetic benchmarks working with the memory subsystem. This parameter has the biggest influence on the mainboard performance overall. For our tests we used Lavalys Everest 4.0 utility.

The first thing that catches your eye is the high performance of the Nvidia nForce 680i SLI based mainboard. But do not let these numbers deceive you: they are the result of a special DASP module integrated into this chipset. In real applications Asus P5N32-E SLI mainboard may perform not so impressive anymore.

As for the performance of our today’s hero, Asus P5K Deluxe mainboard, it is pretty close to Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R on Intel P35 chipset as well as to Asus P5B Deluxe on the previous generation Intel P965 chipset. In other words, the new core logic set doesn’t give Asus P5K Deluxe any advantages when working with the memory subsystem.
