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 is very similar and from looking at other boards and comparable systems, we know that a 990FX AMD motherboard when overclocked gives similar results to this board at stock, which shows that Intel have acomplished a lot more with the 1366 socket and Gigabyte have implemented it well with this board.
