Benchmarks: Encoding, Cinebench, Kribibench
Encoding
Our first encoding operating is audio only. Brace yourselves...

All's square in the round-house, no issues here.

It's a close call in DivX encoding too. The ASUS CROSSHAIR remains quickest, with the M2R32-MVP squeezing into the middle of the pack.
Cinebench

In Cinebench the M2R32-MVP edges out in front by a tiny margin.
Kribibench

The ASUS M2R32-MVP is in the lead again by what is, compared to some of the other results, a considerable margin (3.5%!).
