AMD appears to have locked up the desktop performance title across the board. An interesting review especially the apparent synergies exhibited by the nvidia chipset motherboards with the nvidia graphics card. The performance advantage over the via chipset boards is surprisingly high in some benchmarks.

mas, I particularly liked this comment -

It was difficult to resist being a little sensationalist in this 939 roundup and titling the review, "Who needs 925X?" That would have been a fair title, however, since you can clearly see that all of the Socket 939/FX53 boards completely outperform Intel's top 560 on the top 925X motherboard. Even Media Encoding, the last bastion of Intel dominance, has fallen in benchmarks with our new AutoGK benchmark.
