MSI P67A-GD65 Intel Socket 1155 Motherboard Performance Review

SiSoftware Sandra 2011c

A year ago, SiSoftware released Sandra 2010 with full support for Windows 7; in the 18 months since the launch of Windows 7, more than ever before we have seen the line blur between PC and entertainment hubs. Two months ago we released a Blu-Ray benchmark, now we have added a brand-new Media Transcoding benchmark using the new Media Foundation of Windows 7. We have also added yet another benchmark (GPGPU Cryptography) which allows direct comparison of CPU performance (using crypto instruction sets) and GPGPU performance.

Benchmark Results: Intel has made some serious bandwidth improvements over the previous generation P55 chipset. The MSI P67A-GD65 was able to compete with the ASUS P67 counterparts. All three of the Intel P67 boards were within less than 1% of the others.
