Benchmarks: Office Productivity, SiSoft Sandra, Super Pi

Office Productivity Source: Zdnet

Business Winstone 2004 runs real applications through a series of scripted activities and uses the time a PC takes to complete these activities to produce its performance scores.

Content Creation Winstone 2004 is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running top, Windows-based, 32-bit, content creation applications in Windows XP.

Office Productivity
Business Winstone 2004: Points Ranking
Foxconn 975X7AA-8EKRS2H (975X 200/667) 27.4
Foxconn C51XEM2AA (NF 590 SLI 200/800) 36.3
Asus M2N32SLI-DLX (NF 590 SLI 200/800) 36.4
Content Creation 2004: Points Ranking
Foxconn 975X7AA-8EKRS2H (975X 200/667) 33.8
Foxconn C51XEM2AA (NF 590 SLI 200/800) 46.2
Asus M2N32SLI-DLX (NF 590 SLI 200/800) 46.2

It shouldn't come as any surprise that the office productivity results are nearly identical for each nForce 590 SLI powered motherboard. AMD and nVIDIA have a good reputation for having an equal playing field where processors and chipsets are concerned. The two Socket AM2 motherboards are definitely much faster than the Intel Pentium D 940 powered Foxconn 975X7AA-8EKRS2H motherboard.

SiSoft Sandra 2005 Source: Sandra

Sandra is designed to test the theoretical power of a complete system as well as the individual components. The results are also purely theoretical and may not represent real world performance.

Units:

it/s it/s MIPS MFLOPS MB/s MB/s

Memory bandwidth for the Asus M2N32SLI-DLX motherboard is slightly less than that of the Foxconn nForce 590 SLI for some reason.... but both are head and shoulders faster than the Foxconn motherboard which uses a Pentium D 940 processor.

Super Pi Source: SuperPI

SuperPI calculates the number PI to 1 Million digits in this raw number crunching benchmark. The program allows the user to change the number of digits of PI that can be calculated from 16 thousand to 32 million. Our benchmark is set to 1 Million digits and 19 iterations.

SuperPi
1 Million Digits: Seconds Ranking
Foxconn 975X7AA-8EKRS2H (975X 200/667) 40
Foxconn C51XEM2AA (NF 590 SLI 200/800) 30
Asus M2N32SLI-DLX (NF 590 SLI 200/800) 31

Wow, SuperPi results are fantastic! It's completely amazing to see a stock Socket AM2 Athlon64 motherboard with a fast processor like the FX-62 finishing the test in ~30 seconds!
