To start off the series of benchmarks, we have the very popular synthetic benchmarks from FutureMark, 3DMark 01, 06 and PCMark 05.

We see the Maximus Extreme take a 188 point lead over the P5E3 Deluxe in 3DMark 01.

The story repeats in 3DMark 06 with the Maximus leading by 190 points.

Something interesting happens in PCMark05 where the P5E3 Deluxe actually edges the Maximus Extreme by 92 points.
