GIGABYTE Z87X-UD3H Intel Z87 ‘Haswell’ Motherboard Review

SiSoftware Sandra 2013 SP1a

The Sisoftware Sandra 2012 SP3 benchmark utility just came out a few weeks ago and we have started to include it in our benchmarking. Sandra 2012 comes with support for Virtualisation (Virtual PC/Server, Hyper-V, VMware) and GPGPU (OpenCL, DirectX 11 DirectCompute), but today we will be using the program to look at memory and CPU performance!

Benchmark Results: The GIGABYTE Z87X-UD3H was a hair behind our other systems today. It was still able to average 27.8GB/s memory bandwidth. Only ~.35GB/s behind the ASUS ROG Maximus VI Hero which had an aggregate performance of ~28.1GB/s.
