Benchmarks: SiSoft Sandra 2004, Super Pi

SiSoft Sandra 2004 Source: Sandra

Sandra is designed to test the theoretical power of a complete system and individual components. The numbers taken though are again, purely theoretical and may not represent real world performance.

The MSI K8T Neo was benchmarked with an earlier version of Sandra that's why it's not available. The KV8-MAX3 scores very well in Sandra.

Super Pi Source: SuperPI

SuperPI calculates the number PI to 1 Million digits in this raw number crunching benchmark. The benchmark is fairly diverse and allows the user to change the number of digits of PI that can be calculated from 16 Thousand to 32 Million. The benchmark, which uses 19 iterations in the test, is set 1 Million digits.

Lower numbers denote faster calculation times (seconds), and hence, better performance.

ABIT KV8-MAX3 44
ABIT KV8-MAX3 (223/446) 39

Performance of the MSI and ABIT board are the same which should be no surprise considering the CPU is running at the same speed. When overclocked we can shave a whole 5 seconds off our Super Pi times!
