Gigabyte X99-Gaming 5P Motherboard Review

Cinebench

We used the ‘CPU’ test built into Cinebench R15 .

WinRAR

WinRAR’s built in benchmark and hardware test can help us outline the performance differentials between each motherboard. We record the amount of data processed after a 30-second run.

Handbrake Conversion

We measured the average frame rate achieved for a task of converting a 4.36GB 720P H.264 movie (in the MKV container) to one in the MP4 container.

CPU-based results put Gigabyte's board towards the lower end of our charts. That said, there's very little difference between the highest and lowest performance due to the heavily integrated nature of Intel's Haswell-E CPUs.

Cinebench numbers seem a few points off the average, however the result is by no means a cause for concern (other, uncontrollable, variabilities in the test system may be to blame).
