The Foxconn P9657AA-8KS2H scores as expected in SiSoft Sandra. Memory bandwidth is higher with the Core 2 Duo than the Pentium D, but Intel still has a bit of work to do to reach AMD Athlon64 memory bandwidth levels.

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.

The Foxconn P9657AA-8KS2H completes the Super Pi tests 1 second slower than the other two P965 Express motherboards tested recently. It's certainly interesting to see considering that the Foxconn board performed near identical in all other benchmarks.
