SUPERMICRO X8DA3

 
Test Results and Conclusion
So we've run our standard set of benchmarks on XP
SP3. Too bad Win7 isn't final yet...
Anyhow, below are the results shown with other Xeons
and the latest Phenom II 955, also humming at
3.2GHz. We test with HT on and off. As
you can see, having HT off only had a significant
advantage in the DVD Shrink test. Leaving it
on caused DVD Shrink to slow to a near-crawl.

Americans ripped to HDD. DVD Shrink compresses
the entire rip to 53.7%, with deep analysis, and the
'sharp' adaptive error compensation setting, to
another HDD folder. Analysis files deleted
prior to tests.

Supermicro again produces a
top-notch board for the latest and greatest of
Intel Xeon processors. Performance is
superb, and motherboard layout is well-though
out. Perhaps the use of PCI-X or
additional PCIe slots should have been
considered in lieu of the PCI33. For
workstations and servers, PCI33 is of very
little use especially with the audio already
on-board. Nevertheless, the numbers speak
for themselves, and any other issue is simply
pales in comparison to the outright beauty of
the design, and stability of its performance.
We shall see how others stack up against this
one!
