One of our newer benchmarks - utilising the popular H.264 encoder - produces incredibly consistent results.

Even so, the one-second gap here equates to less than half a percent difference, so if there's any measurable performance gap between H57 and H55, it's not to be found here.

If 3D modelling/rendering is more your scene, it seems there's also no advantage to H57 over its cheaper H55 cousin. Less than one percent separates the boards in terms of performance.

Still a popular benchmark and stress-testing tool among the overclocking community, even wPrime 1,024M fails to highlight any significant performance differentiation between the two.
