Nothing of consequence splits the two Intel chips; both use a triple-channel memory-controller.

As pointed out in the system notes, the ASUS board doesn't provide a two-multiplier jump with single-threaded applications. What you are looking at is performance with a 133MHz increase (one multiplier) over default frequencies.
