Everest Ultimate Edition

EVEREST Ultimate Edition is an industry leading system diagnostics and benchmarking solution for enthusiasts PC users, based on the award-winning EVEREST Technology. During system optimizations and tweaking it provides essential system and overclock information, advanced hardware monitoring and diagnostics capabilities to check the effects of the applied settings. CPU, FPU and memory benchmarks are available to measure the actual system performance and compare it to previous states or other systems. We use EVEREST because it does memory read and write speed, memory latency measurement to stress the memory and cache subsystem, including references list to compare actual performance with other systems.

I was just a little surprised to see the huge difference in performance that we see here in the Everest Read scores.  The 965P DQ6 scored just about 7% lower than the next closest board.  We repeated the test many times and continually ended up with the same results.

The write results were totally in line with the other scores we had seen in our testing of other boards.
