The chipsets look strong here, and the G only loses a little with graphics enabled. Among the more legitimate contenders, the PE looks pretty good.
The G exhibits quite a bit higher access latencies, even with graphics disabled. The P achieves some impressively low latency numbers. The PE essentially ties with the P in this scripted test of office applications. Oddly, the G scores a couple of points lower than the PE, even below the older E.
Then again, Business Winstone is typically sensitive to memory access latency, and the G has higher latencies than the PE and E Content Creation Winstone. The MHz-capable chipsets take all the top spots. Once more, though, the family chipsets are only a step behind the P. The exact command-line options we used were:. DivX video encoding. DivX video encoding is all about bandwidth, and the family chipsets can definitely deliver that.
The PE chipsets finishes encoding our test video clip 39 seconds before the PE chipset it replaces. There are two goals with Sphinx. The first is to run it faster than real time, so real-time speech recognition is possible. The second, more ambitious goal is to run it at about 0. The G and PE both record sub This new revision of Cinebench measures performance in a number of ways, including 3D rendering, software shading, and OpenGL shading with and without hardware acceleration.
Cinebench is multithreaded, so it takes advantage of Hyper-Threading. CPU clock speed again rears its head, as our 3. The P lands in the top spot, while the chipsets settle into the middle of the pack. The two OpenGL shading tests have similar results. You can see marked differences between the four classes of bus speeds and memory subsystems represented here.
The P with PAT stands alone at the top, just a hair shy of fps. We test games with sound enabled, by the way. The other three MHz-bus systems place very closely together at about fps, while the chipsets with MHz bus speeds and dual-channel memory controllers bunch together in the s.
The single-channel PE finishes alone in last place. Maybe things will be clearer with the CPU tests. Much better. The family chipsets outperform all of the competition, save the P. Serious Sam SE. The story in Serious Sam is similar to our other gaming tests. The chipsets are only challenged by the P and our overclocked PE. UT likes to ride the fast bus, and the chipsets have it. Somewhat surprisingly, PAT is good for a 10 frames per second advantage over the PE in the flyby test.
With AGP 8X and 6. Like I said, not a fair fight. The G should serve well enough in corporate desktops that need occasional 3D acceleration with good image fidelity. The tough question is whether to fork over the extra bucks for an P or save a little and grab an PE-based motherboard.
But whether the P or the PE is a better deal will depend on final motherboard pricing, product mixes, and things like that. Dunno yet. In many cases, your final decision will probably come down to this question: what price bragging rights?
I do have a wish list for future revisions of these chipsets. Other core logic chipset makers have interconnects four times that speed. The USB 2. My nitpicking aside, the PE and G chipsets look very strong. Use Firewire rather then USB 2. Quite a bit fewer with the CSA hanging off the north bridge.
Dunno if the CPU would be a bottleneck though…. It might be that I was the one complaining when you last left out linpack benches. Intel would probably like to see those days return so they can get lazy again. Intel does this just because AMD is around. Intel wants AMD to either go to other markets or dissapear, so they can milk us all more conveniently. Excellent article Damage. I think I may have to pick up one of these boards, as AMD has pissed me off recently.
As the owner of a 2. However, I do hope that AMD can survive in these difficult times because competition in the marketplace is vital if we all want to see rapid development and rapid price drops continue. None of the tests we used would be likely to show much of a bottleneck at all.
We may have to devise something for future reviews that really taxes the north-south bridge link. Instead, Springdale stomps it. Type search above and then hit Enter. A block diagram of the PE chipset — Source: Intel.
Swanky motherboards from Intel Intel has long sent out its own motherboards for testing when it launches a new chipset, but those boards have grown more interesting over the course of the past year or so. Six-channel audio comes from analog output ports, digital coax, or optical. Watch for several key things in the benchmark results. Memory performance.
Below are 3D graphs of the entire set of latency data cachemem produces. Yellow bars represent L1 cache accesses.
Business Winstone. Speech recognition Sphinx is a high-quality speech recognition routine that needs the latest computer hardware to run at speeds close to real-time processing.
Quake III Arena. Comanche 4. SPECviewperf workstation graphics SPECviewperf simulates the graphics loads generated by various professional design, modeling, and engineering applications. We picked the Radeon Pro because it sells for as little as 80 bucks at online vendors. Intel caught competitors like SiS and VIA flat-footed with the introduction of an MHz front-side bus, and so it will enjoy some time alone at the top. The chipset family has nearly all the checklist features one might want on a new PC, and it has the performance to back up the hype.
Comments closed. Anonymous 19 years ago so when is shuttel gonna xpc this? Spotpuff 19 years ago Why were the athlon system specs listed when no athlon benchmarks were posted? Advanced storage comes in the form of a type 2 Compact Flash socket. This ATX-form-factor board has dimensions of mm by mm. The board comes in three models, as of this writing — , F and V. ATX Power Installation Installing the Memory Connectors on The LGA processor socket comes with a lever to secure the processor.
Refer to the pictures below, from left to right, on how to place the processor into the CPU socket. Please note that the cover of the.
LGA socket must always be installed during transport to avoid damage to the socket. These two power connectors should be utilized for the motherboard to function. To install the DDR modules, locate the memory slot on the motherboard and perform the following steps:.
To remove the DDR module, press the clips with both hands. Jumpers are used on to select various settings and features according to your needs and applications. Contact your supplier if you have doubts about the best configuration for your needs.
The following lists the connectors on and their respective functions. Jumper Locations on Configuring the CPU Frequency Jumpers on The CPU frequency and processor side bus of the processor can be automatically detected by the motherboard.
The following table describes the jumper settings for COM2 selection. If your motherboard comes with the Gigabit LAN functionality, you can use this jumper to enable or disable it. The connectors on allows you to connect external devices such as keyboard, floppy disk drives, hard disk drives, printers, etc. The following table lists the connectors on and their respective functions.
