Asus har som den første, udover Intel selv, lanceret deres Pentium 4 bundkort – P4T. Deres design adskiller sig mærkbart fra Intels eget og anmeldere lægger ikke skjul på deres begejstring.
Noget kunne tyde på at Asus igen har ramt helt rigtigt med deres P4T bundkort til Pentium 4. Flere hardware-websites har testet det og kommet frem til samme konklusion: I flere tilfælde giver P4T 25% mere ydeevne end Intels eget I850 bundkort.
Asus har valgt et anderledes design
Med P4T bundkortet, har andre fabrikanter pludselig fået noget at leve op til. Asus har valgt at lave deres egen konstruktion og det har givet pote:
The P4T has set the standard for all other Pentium 4 motherboards to live up to. We had this same feeling when Asus released the CUSL2 i815E board. Even though it was one of the first on the market, it performed remarkably well, and even today is regarded as one of or the best i815E motherboard on the market. It will take a lot of effort for a company to live up to the P4T from Asus, which proves how sweet this board really is.
Specielt GamePC er helt klare i deres konklusion:
The performance gains from the P4T compared to the Intel reference board are nothing short of astounding. In the best case scenario, the P4T gives a 25% increase in performance over the Intel D850GB, at the same clock speed! We can contribute these performance gains mostly from the memory tweaking options, but also just plain better design by Asus. This just goes to show that a processor is nothing without a good motherboard to back it up.
