We don't often see much of a difference when it comes to encoding MP3s with LAME and we saw nothing here to change that. Both CPUs were within a second of each other.

We then ran our motherboards through PCMark Vantage, Futuremark’s latest system performance metric built especially for Windows Vista and Windows 7. PCMark Vantage runs through a host of different usage scenarios to simulate different types of workloads, including High Definition TV and movie playback and manipulation, gaming, image editing and manipulation, music compression, communications, and productivity. Most of the tests are multi-threaded as well, so they can exploit the additional resources offered by multi-core CPUs. We used the 64-bit version of the benchmark, with patch 1.02 installed. Our two LGA1156 boards were essentially tied in PCMark Vantage. We encountered no stability errors or problems of any kind. Performance between the two boards was identical through the various benchmarks.
