Summing up all the obtained results we can say that Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R demonstrates very good performance at nominal FSB speed. It runs as fast as the competitors and sometimes even outpaces them. It is clear indication that the performance of the new Intel P35 chipset is at least as good as that of the competing solutions.

However, the impression gets spoilt when we move on to the results obtained with overclocked front side bus. Here Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R loses to the ASUS boards on iP965 and nForce 650i SLI. The reason has already been mentioned above: the BIOS of the newcomer needs to be better optimized.
