The Gigabyte P35-DS3R Motherboard Review

Everest

Everest Ultimate Edition

EVEREST Ultimate Edition is an industry leading system diagnostics and benchmarking solution for enthusiasts PC users, based on the award-winning EVEREST Technology. During system optimizations and tweaking it provides essential system and overclock information, advanced hardware monitoring and diagnostics capabilities to check the effects of the applied settings. CPU, FPU and memory benchmarks are available to measure the actual system performance and compare it to previous states or other systems. We use EVEREST because it does memory read and write speed, memory latency measurement to stress the memory and cache subsystem, including references list to compare actual performance with other systems.

Our Everest results echoed what we saw in ScienceMark. The read results were around 4% lower than the next lowest board, while the write results were much closer, as the P35 falls behind all the other boards by around 40 points.
