Asus P8Z68-V Pro Reviews
Asus P8Z68-V Pro Review
When is a chipset truly a new chipset? That’s a question that many PC enthusiasts will ponder when they see the specs for Intel’s Z68 chipset, which is at the heart of the Asus P8Z68-V Pro board. For one thing, there’s no native USB 3.0, no additional PCI-E lanes (which are tied to the CPU anyway), and still the paltry two SATA 6Gb/s ports that Intel included with the original P67 chipset’s PCH chip. If these negatives are enough to make you skip the rest of this review, know that you’re making a big mistake. That’s because the Z68 chipset in the P8Z68-V Pro offers several major advances over the P67: the ability to overclock the processor graphics in the Sandy Bridge CPU; Identity Protection Technology, which is essentially a hardware token integrated into the chipset and CPU; Smart Response Technology for SSD caching; and the ability to switch between the discrete and integrated graphics. Of these four features, the biggest impact will come from the Smart Response Technology. SRT lets you use a relatively small, low-cost SSD to give your hard drive “SSD-like” performance. Intel actually claims around a 4x improvement with SRT over an HDD alone. On the graphics side, the P8Z68-V Pro board bundles LucidLogix’s Virtu software, which lets you “switch” graphics modes.

The Sandy Bridge launch has been a bumpy road for Intel. While the processor performance is great and it is extremely power efficient, the Cougar Town (6 series) chipset recall made a dent in the sales of the new platform. The truth is the 6 series chipset defect has been slightly blown out of proportion, and that it is less severe than has been portrayed. For one, the chipset probably will not fail, and even if it does, the symptoms won't show for 3-5 years. The bigger issue with new 6 series chipsets, P67 and H67, from Intel is rather that it halved the market along a very rough line: enthusiasts (for whom the P67 was intended) and mainstream/budget users (for whom the H67 was intended). This allows enthusiasts to overclock the processor, however, the P67 requires a discrete graphics card, and will not let users tap into the Sandy Bridge's on-die graphics or reap the benefits of one of Sandy Bridge's best features--the Intel Quick Sync. Quick Sync is probably one of the biggest selling points of the Sandy Bridge architecture. Yes, Sandy Bridge is extremely fast, and it rivals even the Core i7 980X in some applications. It is also very power efficient and overclocks easily. But Quick Sync stands out among these improvements simply because it outsrips any other means of video transcoding in terms of performance and image quality.
Asus P8Z68V Pro review
We've been looking forward to the Intel Z68 platform since we first played with the Intel Sandy Bridge platform, and now it's here in the shape of the Asus P8Z68V Pro.When Intel released its new generation of processors in January they were met with general applause and excitement. The champagne flowed, party poppers flew everywhere - ah, good times.The Sandy Bridge processors, like the Intel Core i5 2500K and the Intel Core i7 2600K, are super-quick, suited to video transcoding and tread encouraging new ground in the muddy field of integrated graphics.The improvements over the Lynnfield, and even some Bloomfield, chips are dramatic in terms of performance if not architecture - super-fast integrated memory controller, lower L3 cache, and greater efficiency thanks to a decoded Cache that grabs instructions the instant they're decoded - and can also hack a greater instruction bandwidth than its predecessors. The real-world performance of Sandy Bridge all but surpasses Intel's top of the line Gulftown chip - the Intel Core i7 990X Extreme Edition.Unlike the 990X EE, the price tags are also real-world, around £500 separating the most expensive Sandy Bridge CPU and Intel's flagship chip.Flagchip?
