Intel DP55WG and DP55KG P55 Motherboards Benchmarked

As you would expect, the scores are very, very close. With the same brand and chipset, the boards really will only be set apart by features, bundle and overclocking. With that said, though the scores are close, it was surprising to see the trend that each board had. The Intel DP55WG hung right with its more sophisticated brother, the Intel DP55KG.

In our Sandra and Everest testing each board traded blow for blow. POV Beta and Real-Time rendering, and Cinebench 10 were slightly favoring of the WG board, as was 3dMark 2006.

HDTach was a trade off, as was Lightsmark. Fear was too close really, and Company of Heroes testing was virtually a tie as well. We saw the same trend in Call of Duty 4 and in Dirt 2, the newest benchmark we use on our systems.

Once we got to Vantage, we see the KG board outscore the WG in all but two of its included tests. Over all, there really is no difference to speak of. They are just that close!
