00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.680
Now, this is something I've wanted to test since the Intel SSD 510 series

00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:12.440
drives came out, and I finally got a chance to do it. I replaced on my test

00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:18.320
bench my Intel P67A

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:20.400
GD65, and I have put in a similar

00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:26.000
top-of-the-line AMD configuration with an 1100T, uh, the same RAM, same video

00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:31.760
card, and I replaced it with an 890 FX board from Gigabyte. This is actually

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:34.160
the 890 FXA UD5. Now, what's interesting

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:40.000
about 890 FX boards is that they all have SATA 36 GB per second. And unlike

00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:43.600
P67 boards, which have anywhere from 2 to four, with only two of them running

00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:48.480
off the Intel chipset, and the other two usually running off a third party

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:51.520
chipset, all six of the SATA 3 6 GB per

00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:53.199
second ports on an AMD 890FX board are

00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:59.440
running off of the chipset. So you can run up to six Theta 3 6 GB per second

00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:02.160
drives. But what is the performance of

00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:08.240
the AMD chipset solution versus the Intel one? So I have attempted to at

00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:14.080
least give us some idea of what the answer would be. So here on the left you

00:01:11.119 --> 00:01:18.159
can see the AMD score and on the right you can see my saved Intel score with a

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:22.000
single drive running at SATA 36 GB per second. So you can see for reads, the

00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:27.040
AMD controller doesn't quite hit the same sequential read

00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:32.640
speeds, whereas everything else is actually fairly similar. So for random

00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:37.119
performance, the AMD controller is on par. And for sequential reads, it falls

00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:42.240
behind a little bit and other than that, it's pretty much right there. So, as

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:45.840
long as the CPU you choose is a good performer compared to whatever Intel

00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:50.560
platform would have been equivalent, it looks like if you're running a SATA 36

00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:55.439
GB per second drive such as this one, there's not going to be too much of a

00:01:52.840 --> 00:02:00.479
disadvantage other than just this one tiny thing uh to running an AMD

00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:04.240
motherboard based on 890 FX. So, thanks for checking out this video on Linus
