Benchmarks - 3DMark06/3DMark Vantage

AMD has always been the leader in the performance of integrated graphics. Intel's Clarkdale will probably raise some eyebrows as we tested the Core i5 661 which clocks at 900MHz.

In 3DMark06, all 3 boards perform way better than the Phenom II X3 710 @3.3GHz on AMD 785G board. The Intel H55/Clarkdale combination is at least 18% faster than a similarly clocked AMD Phenom II X3 710 system in the graphics department.

Again, we see ASRock H55M Pro leading the way with a score of 2158, almost 100 points higher than the ECS and 50 points higher than the ASUS.

In 3DMark Vantage (entry). The results were equally surprising. The Clarkdale Core i5-661 + Intel H55 surpasses the AMD 785G by a huge margin. It is almost 128% faster than the AMD 785G with Phenom II X3 710.

The ASRock H55M Pro scored 5630, it is way ahead of the ASUS and ECS variants.
