AMD’s B550 at the maximum: Gigabyte B550 Vision D review – a bit special, but also pleasantly different

The already tested B550 motherboard from Asus serves as a comparison. Again, we see almost a draw here, which is also due to the same CPU, the same chipset and the same components I used. So under the same framework conditions one hardly finds any differences in performance, trickery. The Gigabyte B550 Vision D is a bit faster from time to time, which is also due to the higher boost clock rate in places, but these are almost marginal differences.

In the end the CPU performs almost identically with the same performance window. I have set exactly 105 watts to avoid cheating by the motherboard manufacturers through hidden OC. And that’s exactly where the CPU on the board with the better voltage converters simply gets a bit more power, because PBO measures before the voltage converters. So everything that does not end in losses benefits the CPU. I don’t see any other reasons, because the memory performance is also almost identical.

By the way, this also applies to the Ethernet and WLAN performance, which show no outliers and turn out so similar that I stopped the measurements at some point. All this is within the range of measurement tolerances and thus also where the end user would like to have it.
