Just look at that HDD sub test, what a difference an SSD makes eh!? Futuremark PCMark Vantage shows remarkably close scores between the newer Z68/P67/H67/X58 test systems, but is heavily influenced by the SSD use. The Core i5 2500K CPU and Z68 motherboards easily out perform the Intel Core i7 920 and X58-based motherboards.

PLEASE NOTE - All of the legacy Intel P55 boards and AMD 890FX/790FX/785G systems were run on WD740 hard drives so direct comparisons should not be drawn between these reference systems and the Z68/P67/H67 platforms that used an OCZ Vertex2 SSD for storage. The legacy systems are included in these benchmark results to illustrate just how far things have come.
