ASUS P55 + MARS running early

**sxs112** · 07-08-2009, 08:06 AM

Some friends got early samples and done some test, including ASUS P55 boards and mars.
They've also made a video for the test.
Seems that P55 peforms nearly equal to X58, hehe.

Also, I've managed to get some photos, take a look!

*waits for the anti-P55 believers crowd to appear*

For a first test on a beta/ES board, I think it's safe to say there's nearly no CPU nor GPU bottleneck, even with SLI with todays best GPUs at least, compared to X58.

Cool benching tray

Only thing I don't like so much is those power components sneaking into our CPU socket area!

Looks like it. Course, this also kills the idea that i5 can't be overclocked as well

. Cool deal. I might have to invest in one of these eventually

Check the video.

Hmm..insulation style and that temp meter looks familiar..

**Tony** · 07-08-2009, 11:06 AM

are results from these boards under NDA still?

**ArneMS** · 07-08-2009, 11:51 AM

I would like a pair of MARS cards

Hope Marcus doesn't read this, but I recognised him by his shirt and the way it wraps itself around the body of the overclocker

Yeah, you can see the similarity here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...38&postcount=1

Nice! Can't wait to see more cpu numbers.

**Mean Machine** · 07-08-2009, 04:02 PM

I recognized that thermometer, just like SF3D. Also, I know someone's been somewhere some time.

**dinos22** · 07-08-2009, 04:46 PM

heheheh lol well spotted massman hehe

Tony are you asking or suggesting?

**saaya** · 07-08-2009, 07:53 PM

pfff whats the big deal, as if performance would be diferent from 1366 :P
just show some results and say its 1366... whos gonna prove you wrong?

unfortunatelly YES, i have lot of results of Core i7/Lynnfield + ClarkDale ... but this time is NDA more deadly ... post something - We will kill you

NDA was signed not only for CPUs perf, but for mobos too ...

Hmm but the youtube video showed a 3dmark vantage score?

ninja edit: when are results from these boards/processors no longer under NDA?

I was being serious....so suggesting more than asking.

No respect for NDA in my books means no respect for the people breaking it.

There seems to be no problem with NDA regarding Asus P55 boards as long there's only pictures...

ASUS P7P55D EVO - Picture Preview

«..ASUS has delivered one of the first P55 boards to our labs and granted us permission to provide an early look at it as long as performance numbers were not generated and we kept the BIOS options private. We know, this will be about as fun as playing with a stack of wet blankets on a cold day, but at least we can start the process of providing first looks at products that will be on sale shortly..»

«..Update - This is a picture from ASUS tonight of the final production board design and color scheme. The revised heatsink designs certainly have an artistic flair about them. Otherwise the new color scheme is not bad at all, although the light blue tends to make us think of Gigabyte's recent boards, especially with the 2oz Copper PCB silkscreen plastered below the second x16 PCIe slot..»

Is the date for NDA expiring date also under NDA?

**Tony** · 07-09-2009, 01:00 AM

benchmark results?

**SubZero.it** · 07-09-2009, 02:28 AM

Really happy for that...seems not so different in performance from i7
