Benchmark Results

On with the benchmarks! Let's start with the synthetics: the PCMark 05 memory bench:

Synthetic Benchmarks

Well, this sets the tone for the rest of the benchmarking suite: the slowest result is within 2% of the fastest result. But it's a memory bench, and the memory controller is independent of the boards, so let's see if it gets more interesting. One more synthetic benchmark to go, the PcMark 05 CPU bench:

Even less variance here, not even a percentage point... wow.

Nothing to see here folks. The Asus Crosshair shows a very slight advantage over the competition in the memory benchmark, but we're talking less than 3%. Maybe we can separate some contestants out in the content creation benches.
