New Update

The Intel P55 express chipset based motherboard from Asus comes with an LGA

1156 socket which supports Intel core i5 and core i7 processors. The board has

USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gbps connectors on board. There is support for SLI and

CrossFireX too and comes with a turbo V controller which may not be of great

importance in everyday usage.

The board scored an impressive 13,307 in 3DMarks 06, which means a great

graphics performance. In PCMark 05, the score was 8938 which means the

motherboard is no mean performer when it comes to basic Office apps. In

CineBench, the score was 9077 CB-CPU, while in POV-Ray, the motherboard scored a

rendered average of 80273 PPS over 2.45 secs; which means  more than decent

display. It gave 59.79 FPS in UT benchmark, which ensures a smooth gaming

experience. We also performed USB 3.0 file transfer rate test using the HD Tune

benchmark. The board was able to garner speeds of up to 110 MB/sec over 16.3 ms

which is at par with any other motherboards available on shelves today.  An

average transfer speed of 110 MB/sec was again observed with an access time of

16.2 ms when connected with SATA 6 Gbps connector. These scores are at par with

some of the other boards reviewed in this issue, but at a higher price tag.
