Cinebench R20
Blender BMW & Classroom Benchmarks
As expected, performance between the competing boards is very similar in Cinebench. Gigabyte’s price competitor pips the ASUS TRX40-E Gaming to top spot in the multi-core test, but the differences between all solutions here are unnoticeable in real world usage. All-core frequency for the ASUS board was around 3850MHz (38.5x) to 3875MHz (38.75x) during Cinebench loading.
When accounting for numerical rounding, there’s nothing to separate ASUS’ and Gigabyte’s £490 offerings in the Blender BWM test. That exact same point holds true for the classroom test. Clearly ASUS’ BIOS is delivering the level of performance that we’d expect. ASUS’ core frequency averaged 3825MHz (38.25x) in both Blender tests.
