Cinebench R11.5

CINEBENCH is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON’s award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more. CINEBENCH is the perfect tool to compare CPU and graphics performance across various systems and platforms (Windows and Mac OS X). And best of all: It’s completely free.

Starting off with Cinebench, we can see that the MSI board sadly fell at the bottom of our stack at stock settings with a CPU score of 2.98. Obviously once we had pushed things up a bit by increasing the clock speed to 4.4GHz, we saw the CPU score jump to 3.74 but this wasn’t a huge increase, especially when compared to how close the Asus A55 board was and this utilises a lower spec chipset.

Super PI

Super PI is a computer program that calculates pi to a specified number of digits after the decimal point—up to a maximum of 32 million. It uses Gauss–Legendre algorithm and is a Windows port of the program used by Yasumasa Kanada in 1995 to compute pi to 232 digits.

Moving over to Super Pi, the MSI board once again showed to be the worst performer when compared to the other two boards used, though not by huge amounts. The overclock to 4.4GHz shaved some time off a bit from 26 minutes and 17 seconds to 21 minutes and 24 seconds.
