The AB9 Pro had the worst stock result here, not surprising given that the data for the Gigabyte GA-965P and the P5W it was comparing against were with the 4MB L2 cache E6700; but note how quickly it encoded the file when overclocked!

Sorry about not having a direct comparison, we only recently switched to the E6400 for motherboard reviews.
