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 Foxconn MARS motherboard competes very well against the other motherboards here. CPU performance numbers are as expected, and memory bandwidth results are nice and strong.

Super Pi Mod 1.5 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.

In Super Pi, all motherboards perform the same in the 1 million digit test. When Pi is calculated to 8 million digits we see who leaders the pack... the nForce 680i based MSI P6N Diamond motherboard. The Foxconn MARS does fairly well in this test.
