MSI Z68A-GD80 Review

Testing:

SiSoft Sandra is a diagnostic utility and synthetic benchmarking program. Sandra allows you to view your hardware at a higher level to be more helpful. For this benchmark, I will be running a broad spectrum of tests to gauge the performance of key functions of the CPUs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Processor Arithmetic

   

   

Multi-Core Efficiency

   

   

 

Memory Bandwidth

   

   

 

Memory Latency

   

 

Cache and Memory

   

 

 

Power Management Efficiency

   

 

The results in this benchmark are an indicator of performance but the differences most likely will not be "felt" during day-to-day operation. The one surprise was that the power efficiency took a nose dive when overclocked, much the same as the P67A-GD65.
