Benchmarks

Before you continue, it is necessary to indicate that the chipset has a limitation and it can't support the 820D in Dual Core mode. This will have an impact of the results of benchmarks when compared to the other two boards which can take advantage of dual core processing power.

Front Side Bus is still a valid and important criteria when judging systems performance. We measured the FSB and found that the board runs at 200.0. The Gigabyte GA-8I955X Royal is running at 200.6MHz and the Foxconn 955X7AA-8EKRS2 is at 200.0.

We used a pair of TwinX Corsair DDR2 RAM and runs it at default SPD of CAS 3, 8-3-3 and below are the memory benchmark scores obtained. Both boards are running DDR2-533 (CPU:RAM=200:266). From the results, we can see that the NVidia memory controller seems to be pretty good. In fact, it is as good as the Intel's own 955X which is used on both Foxconn and Gigabyte board.
