PCMark05:

For PCMark05, all of the tests were run on default settings and each board was run twice with the final result being the average of the two runs.

We have a surprisingly good result for the MSI P35 Platinum here, beating out both of the other boards with its final PCMark result. There was no one area where the P35 Platinum excelled, but rather it gave a very slight yet consistent improvement across the whole range of tests. Considering it runs the exact same chipset as the ASUS P5KR I wasn’t expecting to see much of a difference between the two, if any at all.
