Multi-theaded test - professional software
The KribiBench difference can, we suppose, be put down to the use of different graphics cards.
CINEBENCH 2003 v9.5 returns a broadly similar result. The reference board is certainly no slouch. The performance deviation between it and i975X are so minute that they're often within the standard deviation of the benchmark itself.
