CPU Tests
The CPU tests are designed to scale well with CPU frequency increases. They give an indication that a CPU is allowed to work correctly on a given mainboard, the CPU being constant.KribiBench v1.1
The K8NS Pro and the K8N-E tie in terms of Kribi performance, after weighting the average of three runs. It shows just how close performance is between Athlon 64 mainboards using the same processor.
LAME 3.92MMX
LAME's encoding engine is entirely CPU limited, relying on a fast FPU and little else. The graph above is, again, no surprise.
Realstorm
Realstorm is a real-time raytracer, executed entirely on the CPU without any GPU assistance.
The Gigabyte board is 1.2% faster than the K8N-E at the same settings, after the average from three runs is taking. It's a small win but a win nonetheless.
