CPU Tests

Next up we have our suite of CPU tests, to see how efficiently a processor is allowed to run on the motherboard on test. First up, we'll take a look at Kribibench.

Kribibench v1.1

It's a close race between the two motherboards here, but the Radeon Xpress 200-based board ekes out the smallest of advantages.

LAME MP3 Encoding

LAME

In our MP3 encoding test, both boards give an identical score due to the tests completely CPU-limited nature.

Realstorm

Realstorm utilises real-time raytracing, performed on the CPU with no help from the video card.

Another victory for the A58XK9-ALF here, leading by not far shy of a single frame per second.
