Asus F2A55-M (A55) Motherboard Review

PCMark 7

PCMark 7 provides a set of 7 suites for measuring different aspects of PC performance with a high degree of accuracy. Overall system performance is measured by the PCMark Suite. The Lightweight Suite measures the capabilities of entry level systems and mobility platforms unable to run the full PCMark suite. Common use performance is measured by the Entertainment, Creativity and Productivity scenario suites. Component performance is measured by the Computation and Storage hardware suites. The Storage suite is ideal for testing SSDs and external hard drives in addition to the system drive.

PCMark 7 (most likely due to the slower SSD speeds) showed the Asus board coming out at the bottom of the pile, though the overclock more than made up for it by increasing the score well past the other two A85X based boards.
