ASUS Prime Z790-A WiFi Motherboard Review

Boot Time

So as I mentioned, benchmarks are for the most part pretty useless, especially when all boards on the same platform, using the same CPU, GPU and memory, perform within a range of each other with the only benchmark that we did that actually shows something being the boot time as this really is board specific, especially with the way they work with DDR5 through the memory training they have to do.

Another pleasant surprise for the Prime is how fast it boots to the desktop. Scoring 25.27 seconds, it was very nearly the fastest we’ve seen.
