It won't make your CPU perform any better. correct with the sata ports, not the usbs. cpu performance will be the same. the b85 has additional software features you most likely wont need such as "Intel Small Business Advantage" and "Identity Protection Technology" . an advantage of the b85 over the h81 is the ability to support dual channel memory and 4 memory slots. h81 only has two memory slots. also the b85 mobos come with two more usb 3.0 ports than the h81, but less usb 2.0.
