Introduction :
In this Roundup we take a look at six motherboards, the MSI X58 Platinum, the Gigabyte EX58-UD4P, the Foxconn Blood Rage, the Foxconn Renaissance, the Asus Rampage II Extreme and Asus P6T6 WAS Revolution. In this first part, the X58 Platinum from MSI's turn.
We have different benchmarks so that we can compare performance. In addition to the performance are also the energy consumption, heat and of course the featureset of the signs at issue.
All signs use the X58 + ICH10R chipset, supporting the three Core i7 processors - the Core i7 920, 940 and 965 Extreme - and therefore make use of DDR3 memory. In order to clarify the differences, the six panels together in an overview of features and functions.
