Motherboard Benchmarks: SiSoft Sandra, Super Pi

SiSoft Sandra XII 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.

The Biostar motherboard doesn't quite have the same memory performance as the other motherboards in this reference list, but that's mainly due to the fact that it's using an integrated videocard. Latencies are a bit higher too, whether you'd notice though I'm not sure.

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.

It's certainly interesting to see how all motherboards complete the 1 million digit test in 19 seconds yet vary by up to ~40 seconds in the 8 million digit test.
