Media Benchmarks
Download from: bit-tech.netWe've developed our own suite of benchmarks using real-world and open-source applications to simulate how PCs are actually used. The suite comprises an image editing test using Gimp, a video encoding test using Handbrake, and a multi-tasking test using 7-Zip to archive and encrypt a large batch of files while an HD movie plays in mplayer.
A score of 1,000 means that the test system is as fast as our reference PC, which used a 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 at stock speed, 2GB of Corsair 1,066MHz DDR2 memory, a 250GB Samsung SpinPoint P120S hard disk and an Asus P5K Deluxe WiFi-AP motherboard. The scoring system is linear, so a machine scoring 1,200 points is 20 per cent faster than our reference system. Equally, a system scoring 1,200 is 4 per cent faster than a system scoring 1,150.
GIMP Image Editing
Website: GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP)Far from being some kind of pr0n-filtering tool, Gimp is an open source image editing application - Gimp is an acronym of GNU Image Manipulation Program. Our test simulates how well a PC can manipulate a collection of large digital photos, and achieving a low time requires a PC with a powerful CPU, plenty of quick memory and efficient hard disk access.

Handbrake H.264 Encoding
Website: HandBrakeWe use the open-source, GPL-licensed, multi-platform, multi-threaded video encoder Handbrake to encode an HD video using the H.264 codec. This primarily tests multi-threaded CPU and memory subsystem performance.

Otherwise thumbs up for a nice review. Always nice to see the ITX get some love

the other part that bothers me is how they complain about the price. it has friggin 8 total usb 3.0 ports, 2 gigabit ethernet, built-in wifi, and 4 sata 3 ports. the fact that this board has all of that in such a tiny space is some seriously good PCB designing. you're paying for the fact that you're getting a fully featured product in a tiny space. comparing this board and it's price to an atx is like comparing a mini cooper to a suv. they might cost about the same and they are both vehicles but they're not comparable.
this board is very misunderstood and deserves a higher rating. i don't ever plan on owning this board, or even an APU, but BT really needs to stop focusing on strictly power users.
