Intel's memory-controller optimisations pay more of a dividend here.
The Intel board has the definite edge in 2D numbers. We're surprised that the performance delta in our HEXUS.PiFast number-crunching test is so large, especially given that an identical-speed CPU and memory is used.
NVIDIA and MSI need to do some work here, it seems.
