Motherboards of 2007

Overclockers Club has posted an article of the motherboards of 2007. On the AMD side not much has happened sadly. The Asus CrossHair still rules the roost.

The systems seem quite similar in performance for integer calculations, apart from the Asus Crosshair, which has the disadvantage of being run with an X2 4200+ against X2 6000+ CPUs in the other AM2 boards. To its credit though, you can see the performance difference is scaled to tally with the AMD CPU performance rating (i.e. the processor name). For floating point calculations, it's obvious to see which three motherboards have the X2 6000+, and we see the same scaled performance of the X2 4200+. What's most interesting here, however, is that the E6600 in the ECS G33T-M2 falls behind the X2 6000+; something I would never have guessed.
