CPU Performance Results

I spent a week with the ECS A85F2-A Golden before beginning my performance testing by running various configurations and APUs and checking hardware compatibility. I verified our power consumption numbers using several different power supplies and played a few hours of games with some members of the TPU community to get an overall feel for the board and to verify stability. Once completed, I tore down the system, mounted my Corsair cooler, and put the board through the paces. I will, as with other recent reviews of mine, let the numbers do the talking.

SuperPi

WinRAR and wPrime

AIDA64

CineBench and HandBrake Encoding

Seems like the reported clockspeeds are correct, which means the ECS A85F2-A Golden offers a bit more out of the box performance on the CPU side of things.
