Not many Intel P55 motherboards have seen the break of day and motherboard giant ASUS has already revealed most about its new products. Even if we’ve seen loads of cards for Intel’s new LGA1156 platform few have actually tested them with Intel’s new processors, even fewer have dared to share results. A user at Asian site XFastest has posted a bunch of pictures from the BIOS of ASUS P7P55 EVO together with a few benchmarks with a Core i5 processor.
The processor was registered as Intel Core i5 750 at 2.67GHz and since it was an engineering sample it had both unlocked multipliers and HyperThreading. The latter will only be activated with the Core i7 models of Intel’s new LGA1156 processors.
The motherboard with its 14 phase power supply was used to clock the processor to 2.8GHz where he completed a SuperPi 1M test at 14.976 seconds, a good result for that frequency.
