ASUS P55 + MARS running early

**Raja@ASUS** · 07-09-2009, 02:39 AM

There is an NDA for results. Even pics of the boards were under the codge until yesterday, someone shot early..

pictures of mobo are not under NDA, in document is : if you want to publish some photos, tell they are from Computex!

NDA will end in few weeks ... i dont know exact date (+/- day)

So I was right, im under personal NDA with MSI and under Intel's with OCZ and everything i have read says post no results.

I am amazed XS allowed this to be posted

If I remember correctly, ASUS doesn't mind their P55 boards being shown off, it's just that Intel is a tad more restrictive with the new CPU's.

My impression was Intel cared and ASUS didn't care that Intel cared. We've had pics of various P55 boards for a while now.

I'm not bothered about board pics, I have written instruction I can show the board...it was just results..the 3Dmark run that had me curious.

I have to sign many NDA's, never broke one of them, I know tier 1 review sites that don't break them either, but I see them broken often on forums and no one seems to care...this is most unfair in my eyes.

Since when people started to complain about broken NDAs here on XS

Oh c'mon, loosen up

This is what this section is about: tech news and gossip.
If it was after NDA, it wouldn't be news.

Also, I don't see any results posted here, in the forum

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

i dont get it... whats the big deal here?
anybody could emulate an 1156 cpu since last year when 1366 came out... theres no magic to it... nothing new at all except for robson and a tweaked doubled up G45 igp under the ihs, whooooooo!!! *waves arms*

and those revised heatsinks on the board... come on... still looks like a really cheap aluminum heatspreader and somebody stepped on the center and the fins bent left and right

come on asus... seriously, you can do better than that!

IGP? I thought 1156 boards had no IGP, as the whatever-it's-been-renamed-to
2c/4t 32nm 1156 CPU will have IGP on-die.

Am I seeing this correct: cpu's running 234x22?

**doompc** · 07-09-2009, 11:31 AM

Gary Key let it slip that it will do 230MHz easily

ASUS is utilizing a 12-phase power system that has allowed easy 230+ Bclk rates in early testing.

**Chri$ch** · 07-09-2009, 11:33 AM

looks like 224 x 22 (or 23)?!

**Vozer** · 07-09-2009, 11:36 AM

I think it's 224.
