now this is something I've wanted to test since the intel SSD 510 series drives came out and I finally got a chance to do it I've replaced on my test bench my Intel p67 a GD 65 and I have put in a similar top-of-the-line AMD configuration with an 1100 T the same RAM same video card and I replaced it with an eight ninety FX board from gigabyte this is actually the 890 FX AUD five now what's interesting about eight ninety FX boards is that they all have say 236 gigabit per second and unlike p67 boards which have anywhere from two to four with only two of them running off the intel chipset and the other two usually running off a third-party chipset all six of the SE 236 gigabit per second ports on an AMD 890 FX board are running off of the chipset so you can run up to six say 236 gigabit per second rides but what is the performance of the AMD chipset solution versus the Intel one so I have attempted to at least give us some idea of what the answer would be so here on the left you can see the AMD score and on the right you can see my saved Intel score with a single Drive running it's a 236 gigabit per second so you can see for reads the AMD controller doesn't quite hit the same sequential read speeds whereas everything else is actually fairly similar so for random performance the AMD controller is on par and for sequential reads it falls behind a little bit and other than that it's pretty much right there so as long as the CPU you choose is a good performer compared to whatever Intel platform would have been equivalent it looks like if you're running a say 236 gigabit per second drive such as this one there's not going to be too much of a disadvantage other than just this one I thing to running an AMD motherboard based on a tiny FX so thanks for checking out this video on Linus tech tips don't forget to subscribe for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos you
