SYSMark's benchmarks generally have smaller margins between processors than what you'd typically find in other processors. The performance of the MSI Eclipse Plus is actually behind that of the Gigabyte GA-X48DS5 motherboard. SYSMark uses a lot of real-world tests where the Core i7's newer technologies aren't always taken full advantage of, holding back its overall scores.
