Application Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

BIOSTAR B550MH Motherboard Review Aida64 Memory Read

For our application benchmarks, we are starting out with Aida64 and looking at memory read and write performance.  At default settings, with the memory at 3600MHz the read performance on this motherboard is 50950 MB/s of memory bandwidth.  This is really great, and right on the money in terms of read performance, it’s very good for this memory and this motherboard is working correctly.  It also matches the ASRock B550 Taichi.

The write performance is also correct, at 28745 MB/s this is the correct write performance given the CCX layout.  In terms of memory bandwidth, the ASRock B550 Taichi matches it as well. 

This memory bandwidth test proves that even with the loss of 2 DIMMs, the 2 on here are Dual-Channel and operating correctly with no difference in performance.

PCMark 10

The default standard PCMark 10 test result was 6836 which is just slightly lower than the ASRock B550 Taichi motherboard.  It’s only a 1.3% difference, so could be within the margin of error.

In the PCMark 10 application test, which tests Microsoft Office application performance we got a result of 11202.  This is again just under the ASRock B550 Taichi.  It’s still just a 1.4% difference, but that is close to the standard test above as well. 

Cinebench

BIOSTAR B550MH Motherboard Review Cinebench R20

The Cinebench R20 result at default is 3600.  The ASRock B550 Taichi is 1.2% faster, we are talking a very small difference, but so far seems to be consistent in this lower 1% difference range.  In the real-world, not noticeable, however. 

Blender Benchmark

In the “Classroom” Blender Benchmark at default this motherboard and CPU complete the render time in 11 minutes and 20 seconds.  This time matches exactly with the ASRock B550 Taichi, there is no difference here in render time with the CPU churning away for eleven minutes.

HandBrake

Transcoding a video at default took 15 minutes and 17 seconds at default.  This again matches the ASRock B550 Taichi motherboard. 

The two rendering tests above show that with the CPU running full-out, full-load, for 11-15 minutes on this motherboard works just fine and pulls in the same performance as the ASRock B550 Taichi.  Despite the VRMs not having heatsinks, our 3600 can run this long with no performance degradation.

3DMark Timespy

The 3DMark score was 10757 and matched the ASRock B550 Taichi performance as well.
