PCMark Vantage
Futuremark’s newest benchmark suite, PCMark Vantage, was released earlier this year we published an initial article on the new software that looked at some CPU performance as well as providing overviews for all the individual testing suites it uses and what kind of applications they emulate. The new Vantage software takes a much more real-world user-scenario approach to testing that previous PCMark software and as such deserves more time our benchmark analysis.
The P55M-UD4 really broke out of its shell in our PCMark Vantage benchmark as it took the top overall score and several of the highest scores in other individual categories. These results are strong indicators that this board can not only handle gaming and CPU-intensive applications, but it also is a work horse throughout many of the typical operations that users will put this board through when they install it into their PCs.
