Legion Hardware have a Complete Crossfire Chipset Comparison posted up. By simply firing up 3Dmark Vantage we found that the new X48 chipset was able to provide 17% more performance than the older P35 chipset when using two Radeon HD 4850 graphics cards in Crossfire mode.

These numbers would not exactly have X38 owners rushing out to pick up an Intel P45 or X48 motherboard.
