Asus P4pe Bios Update
The story should seem familiar by now. Information surfaces that a large, well-known pc hardware manufacturer has been fixing the results of industry-standard benchmarks such that its product comes out with a falsely-high score, thus putting all rivals to shame. No, we're talking about asustek, maker of the highly popular asus p4p800 motherboard based upon the intel i865 “springdale” chipset.intel intends the i865 chipset for the value market, not the performance market where the i875 “canterwood” is positioned. Canterwood contains a special performance-enhancing mode known to intel as performance acceleration technology (pat) that apparently boosts performance significantly.
Springdale appears to have silicon for pat as well, but intel has ruled that motherboard makers are not allowed to enable it, thus keeping the costlier–and more profitable–canterwood motherboards bringing home the bacon. Eric's opinionhave all morals and standards just completely and totally fallen off the face of the earth? If it's not ati jiggering around with quake vs. Quack, it's nvidia fixing its drivers–oops, i meant making “application specific optimizations”–for 3dmark03. Motherboard makers have been in the cheating game before, sending boards with tweaked clock crystals to reviewers that raised fsb timings a few more megahertz and thus subtly overclocked the processor without the reviewer noticing.now it seems asustek has raised the bar (or lowered it, as the case may be) even further by sending one-off motherboards to reviewers while shipping boards to the public that cannot and will not meet the same performance targets. Mike magee over at the inquirer hears that intel is more than a bit ticked off at this, and i can see two reasons why.
First off, asustek, if guilty, would be violating intel's wishes. Second, if true, asustek has proven that intel's springdale chipset is in fact a purposefully-crippled sham designed to force performance users towards the more expensive canterwood when an uncrippled springdale would suit their needs quite well.perhaps some ingenious bios hackers can figure out a way to get pat running anyway. Its all a money making scheme for everyone. – by infernodisappointing.
(11:07am est wed jun 04 2003).that so much effort is spent on making it look like parts and pieces are performing better, instead of spending the effort on actually making the performance gains happen. There's so much smoke and mirrors in the industry right now it's hard to make an informed choice on components. – by wingwangethics (11:14am est wed jun 04 2003)bad business for intel. This is their fault. “let's make this technology chipset that increases effeciency, then we'll sell it to everyone else, but we'll say they can't use it!
This way when we sell ours, we'll sell it for a lot more, and ours will be the best in benchmarks and everyone will want ours instead! Wow isn't this a great idea, not only do we make money from our competitors for buying the product, but we run them in the ground too, because ours is better, hahahaha. So, board of directors, what do you think?”.stamp approved. that is the unethical part of this scenerio. Then they try to take the attention off them on asus “ohhhh well they're cheaters, they're unethical, we're a great company you can trust with great prices and better technology, i mean we must be, they have to cheat on bechnmarks to compete with us with our own chipset.for shame” sure asus was dumb enough to buy a car with flying technology that can't fly, but this is just a savvy excuse to focus the attention away from intel.
– by crevinwho cares? (11:17am est wed jun 04 2003)no one will buy the asus p4p800 (i865) or p4c800(875) anywyas no matter how fast those 2 cards run with or without cheating. Since both of them dont have csa support, aye its weird but thats the truth.as we know csa is benefitical coz of it doesn't congest it self into the pci bus 133mb/s banwidth. Those 2 asus motherboard choose to come pre installed with a intel network card, really dont know whats asus smoking as the technology is already there. – by bomjakkre:crevin (11:51am est wed jun 04 2003)intel speedbins the chipsets. The silicon not up to pat standards is instead used on the springdale chipsets. Read the thg article.
– by amadeusasus of course (11:53am est wed jun 04 2003)th recently found msi? Had some turbo microcode that kicked in on p4 benchmarks. Asus has always been aggressive in their clocking while ecs is always conservative. Nothing i am doing really benefits from overclocking any more, been that way since 1.2ghz+ mark. I underclocked my last system for stability reasons, 266 fsb to 200.i have enough speed to waste already, i want rock solid performance. As long as stability is not compromised, asus gets kudos from me for turning the valve on the no2, plus i like it when anybody annoys intel.
– by zekeasus boards (12:00pm est wed jun 04 2003)recent taiwanese mainboards may be fast (by small percentages anyway), and feature packed, but often give hassles, minor or major problems with stability, compatibility, etc. In forums i visit there's plenty of people complining or asking help with asus boardsi bought a p4pe myself after reading enthusiastical reviews but i'm loosing faith in it after the many problems i had with it (cold boot, memory compatibility) and since i noticed how overvolted the cpu was forced to work (1.65v instead of 1.5! And there was no way to fix it)if i buy a new p4 system, equipped with a 800 mhz fsb cpu and i865, it'll surely be based not on an asus board, but on a retail intel d865perlk board: 3 years warranty, black pcb, on board intel csa chip, 0.1% slower than the asus equivalent but rock stable and totally trustworthythis is because, i'm not an overclocker, and i want a mb that lets me forget about its existence, once it's installed – by shinjimsi cheats too. (12:31pm est wed jun 04 2003)let's hope that kyle at hard ocp can get this shit straight.unlike our good friend tom, kyle has actually shown the spine to stand up to the rampant cheating and blackmailed/paid for benchmarks that have plagued the reviewers for the last two years. 2 mhz oc might not seem like much, but asus only barely edges by all of their competitors, so the difference is easily explained.asus can suck my bag, while i take a dump. The memory chip makers couldn't turn a profit if god suddenly endowed their machines with gold plated turbochargers.
Hard drives are in the dumps (i mean for real: a 120 gb drive for $75? Its got to cost more in parts and research amortization and plant rent than that. Hell, a medium-rare hunk of animal flesh at a good resturant costs $50, and it only takes technology as old as fire and knives to produce.)i bought a half dozen computers online a couple of weeks ago for $450 each. Beautiful machines – they work, they work well, and with the couple of extra power supplies thrown in, they'll be reliable enough. 120 gb drives, xp2400's, 1 gb memory, gf4 cards, 10/100 ethernet, compact cases. The dope-on-a-rope's that put these things together did so (by my calcs) for less than $75 profit per machine. They don't got volume, they wish for volume, and would auction their moms into slavery if it would raise the asp 25%.and we bitch about a bit of creative cheating by the mobosluts.
Oh how righteous. How sanguine. I'm so astonished.
Notthe joke-within-the-joke is that the mobo's are no more than 10% different from each other in performance compared to the median, in any case. Who give a freeg? Slap another gb of memory on a slower (cheaper) board, and it will run rings around the supposedly faster one any day.
Sheesh – have we forgotten? – by goatguyre signs of the economy, goats (1:40pm est wed jun 04 2003)or signs of harder competition?asus feels threatened by the furious inroads of the epoxes and chaintech's out there. The actual state of asus's quality is supposed to be on par to ecs'.
Poor dudes.it's a shame asus can't deliver a better product than their competitors, so asus had to appeal to such low tricks to maintain their ever falling status quo. – by askhearttom's article pulled? (2:15pm est wed jun 04 2003)i tried to follow the links to the tom's article only to see a 404.my paranoia meter is going nuts! Did asus get to tom's? – by biskutasus quality (2:30pm est wed jun 04 2003)is not that exceptional after all (imho). P4s don't fry, but they don't run fast when you really need! – by manzaoh great (3:33pm est wed jun 04 2003)now we are going to start hearing about every company that cheats on a benchmark.news flash, they all do.
Anybody that buys a piece of hardware based on one or two benchmark numbers generally gets what they deserve, hardware that doesn't perform to expectations.so don't go on about morals and ethics here, no company making more then a million dollars knows anything about morals and ethics (i.e. You can't make money with them). As for asus quality, asus has not produced high quality products in the last few years. They worked hard to become a dominant mb maker, and are now resting on their laurels and producing crap.msi easily creates better motherboards, not just in features, but in design (i.e.
No tiny, easy to break diodes and transistors just under where your supposed to force the heatsink clip down onto the cpu with a screw driver). Also, msi has created one of the few motherboards i've seen which implements suspend to ram properly (i.e. No fans running at all, computer is completely off), asus has yet to do that.i am sure the story is the same for every other mainboard maker like ecs, they are the underdogs and so are trying to gain marketshare by producing better product. Asus better wake up and smell the coffee, i will never buy another asus board again. – by topherre: topher (3:47pm est wed jun 04 2003)“now we are going to start hearing about every company that cheats on a benchmark. News flash, they all do.” – by topher.
First off, i'm going to disagree with you here. It's an amazingly generalized statement to claim that all companies cheat on their benchmarks, and it's one that you'd have an impossible time trying to prove.
Lumping honest, hardworking companies in with those who cheat and lie does a tremendous disservice to those who are playing the game straight.second, the attitude that “everyone cheats, so cheating is nothing to report about” is, in my opinion, a horrific attitude to take on any subject, be it hardware or finances or legal matters. By making such a statement you are, in fact, excusing and encouraging dishonesty, corruption, lying, and cheating. The old “everyone does it” justification has never been and will never be a valid reason to pursue any course of action and is a sign of either an extremely jaded mind or an extremely naive one — or both.we should expect and demand honesty and forthrightness from those whom we do business with.
We should expose and report dishonest dealings and slanted action by any party. After all, isn't it how we'd all like to be treated? With integrity? As long as we set our standards low, we'll keep getting low results. What's been going on with ati, nvidia, asus, and now msi is the lowest of the low. Only a combined outrage of the public can reverse this trend. Eric smitha different opinion (4:04pm est wed jun 04 2003)i guess i'm in the minority here. Eset nod32 antivirus serial 2017.
I've always been happy with my asus boards including the a7n8x i recently bought. In fisherman freshwater trophies. – by isysmanunderclocking (4:18pm est wed jun 04 2003)i think there will soon be a movement of underclockign not overclocking. I have a 2500+ with a volcano 9 on top of it and artic silver 3 thermal paste and im getting 45 degree celcius tempatures up to 53 maybe more ive seen 57 when runnign battlefield. I have no underclocked to a 1900+ because i was not comfertable with that heat and i don't wanan put water in my computer, nor can i afford some of the more expensive coolers just yet.
Suprisingly, there isnt much preformance shot off here so i am ok, after all i have a radeon 9600 in here, stock fan, but it makes things like 3d games an all run much much smoother, takes the pressue off my cpu. I use an asus board and i havn't noticed much different from the prefromance i read about for the nforce 2 chip set and the preformance i've had since i switched from my soyo kt-400 dragon ultra platnium edition. Though this does explain why intel chips test faster then amd's. You know if the benchmarkers were so damned cheap, theyd go buy this stuff them damn selves and test it with an off the shelf peice of equipment, same thing we all get. No more bitching then abotu the free stuff they got sent to them beign tweaked, what do you expect! And these whiny benchmarkers complain if they don't get soemthing free! Or they simply don't review it!
Screw these benchmarks i say. Don't give any creedance to them.
We need a forum here on geek.com where people can come to give revies of their expeirances with products liek motherboards, video cards, etc etc. Not some fixed cheated and flagrently tweaked and enhanced thing none of us will ever see. You wanna 3d mark score or unreal 2003 or unreal 2?
Buy the game, run it, find out, its that easy. These benchmarks are all a load and the peopel that do them arent much better, heres to all those of us out here who use what we got and tweak what we can! – by supesno problem (4:57pm est wed jun 04 2003)as long as everyone cheats by about the same amount. – byimplied asus statement? (4:58pm est wed jun 04 2003)on the newegg site, they are now showing that the asus p4p800 deluxe board has pat enabled. I guess it's not even clear from intel what that really means because it's just a matter of silicon quality. It's probably just asus overclocking the board a little bit, maybe depending on what other components it senses.
I think it's a useful feature and it seems to be on the retail boards, so what's the beef? I insisted on an rma. The p4t533 i got back had been redisigned and works just fine with the samsung rdram. I have sisnce found that this was not uncommon with the earlier p4t533's.
Some issue in the power circuitry i think. – by redstarusaabit now (9:03pm est wed jun 04 2003)seems that abit has posted a new bios as well that activates pat on their 865.

Geek's always good for the latest spin.i am not a mobo tech, but over that last year asus is the only mobo i've been asked to tech, and it failed out of the box and was replaced. – by oh wellgoatguy (12:28am est thu jun 05 2003)“ohh, jack – you just gotta see what i got!

Try not to do that. You may be missing the mark. Just because you may not have the people or resources to make the purchases mentioned does not necessarily mean we are all chained to your pricing – by pythagorasintel vs. Asus motherboards (1:32pm est mon jun 21 2004)i have two intel motherboards (both d845gvsr running on p4 2.66 & 2.8 ghz cpus). In these two boards (presumably every board with bios version p10 or later) one cant format more than one floppy at a time in the real mode dos environment of windows 98 (se) platform.
When asked, intel suggested running bios recovery, which plainly didnt work. Then, they said that all of their products are like latest cars packed with advanced features which wont (or neednt) run on old roads. In addition, despite the cd writer being attached to the secondary ide controller with an 80-conductor cable, the application accelerator dogmatises it a 40-conductor cable (the bios, however, says it correct). Thirdly, one could see the magic that disabling usb in bios wont have any effect. Conversely, upon installing the inf utility, all usb controllers will be promptly detected and installed.
For the one not using any usb device, it will graciously add up about 20 seconds of boot time. None of the above enrichments appears in asus boards with the same i845 chipset (p4bgv-mx). One conspicuous inconvenience with asus boards is that the led showing hard disk activity in the front panel will not have connector pins on the motherboard. Metz sca 3000c manual.
