P45 better than X48?

xfastest reports,Are u still running 3Dmark01? No?! and WHY?
for DirectX supported issue? there is something you may donu
the performance between CPU,Ram,Graphics and Motherboard
which 3dmark reflect that performance well and percisely?

the answer definitely not 3Dmark06.
overall famous powerusers are focus on 3dmark01,yes, that one be very old benchmark
but how cares,if new softwares can't reflect the memory or MCH performance
why you still believe that?

This week, xfastest received the sample of EP45-DQ6 from Gigabyte company
nomatter the early beta bios not work properly with dividers & straps.
follow the 3dmark01 testing,we figure out P45's latency will be faster than  x48 or P35.

As we know that,266mhz strap pushes much tie latency and memory bandwidth than 333mhz or 400mhz
why 266mhz? why not 200mhz?
here is the question for you, since Intel company released their prototype of core in 2006.
core 2 was running at 266mhz,and Intel made the chipset for core
then, upcoming with low-end of 200mhz core or celerons,some called pentiums
200mhz even strap not good as 266mhz,for compatible and low-end marketing,
intel no need to set tie bandwidth than 266mhz with their celey products.atleast they didn't do that.

okay,back to the topic,we tested the EP45-DQ6 and using 400mhz strap
and memroy at 1066mhz.

at this latency,the P45's performance very close to x48 within 266mhz strap and higher DDR2 clocks.
set the mahchine with QX9650,QX9770 at same clock 4Ghz and Graphic is 9800GX2.

here is 400mhz strap of P45 got

on Ep45-dq6 400mhz strap & 1066c5(no timing optimized yet)


and 266mhz strap of x48
on rampage formula. 266mhz strap & 1200c5.


Does P45 has better latency with Mch?
can't wait to test the lower latency of 266mhz on P45.

and i aslo done some overclocking with 9800gx2 stockfan
perfrom in 3dmark01.

4.5ghz and graphic to 700/1100 easily grab 92k


780/1160 oc the card with stock,some wierd the score not gain much.
but nature 1333 not bad at all. have ran 93k but forgot to printscreen.
