Benchmarks - 3DMark06/3DMark Vantage

AMD has always been the leader in the performance of integrated graphics. Intel's Clarkdale will probably raise some eyebrows as we tested the Core i5 661 which clocks at 900MHz.

In 3DMark06, all 3 boards perform way better than the Phenom II X3 710 @3.3GHz on AMD 785G board. The Intel H55/Clarkdale combination is at least 18% faster than a similarly clocked AMD Phenom II X3 710 system in the graphics department.

From the scoreboard, we can see that the ECS H55H-CM could easily achieve a score of 2070 marks. The Core i5-661 is truly remarkable.

In 3DMark Vantage (entry). The results were equally surprising. The Clarkdale Core i5-661 + Intel H55 surpasses the AMD 785G by a huge margin. It is almost 128% faster than the AMD 785G with Phenom II X3 710. The score difference between the 3 board differs quite a bit in this test by over 100 points. BCLK does really plays a part as the multiplier is pretty high.
