Soltek K8TPro-939: Moving A64 to 939

General Performance and Encoding

We first saw the pattern of nVidia higher Winstone results with the nForce3 Ultra in our Socket 939 roundup. The Soltek repeats the same pattern of about 3 points lower in performance by VIA K8T800 Pro, in both Business Winstone and Content Creation Winstone. All comparisons used the nVidia 6800 Ultra in Benchmark testing.

It is interesting that the Soltek K8TPro-939 is the fastest 939 board that we have tested in both AutoGK Encoding and PCMark 2004. Both results indicate that the Soltek has been tweaked very effectively for stock performance.
