Cinebench R11.5 is the newest revision of the popular benchmark from Maxon. The test scenario uses all of your system’s processing power to render a photorealistic 3D scene (from the viral “No Keyframes” animation by AixSponza). This scene makes use of various different algorithms to stress all available processor cores.
In fact, CINEBENCH can measure systems with up to 64 processor threads. The test scene contains approximately 2,000 objects containing more than 300,000 total polygons and uses sharp and blurred reflections, area lights and shadows, procedural shaders, antialiasing, and much more. The result is given in points (pts). The higher the number, the faster your processor.
In this test we can see how much better the A8-3850 APU performs in multi-threaded tasks compared to single threaded tasks.
Decent motherboard. I doubt people buying one of these will want to overclock much anyway. no need with a media center.
I have this board, I didn’t get it overclocked at all and gave up. Its a good board though.
afternoon everyone all the best to yous for 2012

Cool review, one thing missing though! Please add the results of just using the 6670, I really want to see the benifit, I know there are other reviews that does this, but I want to see if it improves as the drivers gets more up to date.
But yeah if I was building an HTPC today, I would either get this or Asus Llano board(that actually has Wifi) along with a low profile 6670, you could really make a small machine pack quite a punch.
