Under Business Winstone 99, the D810E2CB comes in last when put up against boards based upon a variety of chipsets. However, there is more to the benchmarks than the obvious numbers. It is important to note that the integrated video subsection of the D810E2CB is based purely on system memory (unified memory architecture). Therefore, effective system memory bandwidth is shared between running applications and the integrated graphics. This results in a degradation (to an extent) of performance with those tasks not related to graphics.

If a similar graphics platform were used on all tested boards, performance gaps would become much less than they already are. Nevertheless the D810E2CB, being about 10% slower compared to the fastest board ever tested here, offers quite acceptable business performance. In fact, the D810E2CB offers similar business performance to other motherboards equipped with integrated video acceleration.

With this being a pre production model, we should see performance increases once the board is made ready for retail sale.
