Cinebench R10 64-bit

Download from: www.maxon.net

Cinebench R10 uses Maxon's Cinema 4D engine to render a photo-realistic scene of a shiny motorbike. The scene is highly complex, with reflections, ambient occlusion and procedural shaders so it gives a CPU a tough workout.

The test can be in run in single-threaded 1CPU mode or multi-threaded xCPU mode - just click the respective button. In this way, Cinebench R10 is useful for gauging the performance of each execution core of a CPU, as well as its overall performance.

As Cinema 4D is a real-world application - used on films such as Spider-Man, Star Wars among others - Cinebench R10 can be viewed as a real-world benchmark.




Naturally, the four cores work to the benefit of the Athlon II X4 here as it clearly makes a positive impression on the table for the same cost. The deficit to a full-fat Phenom II X4 is only about eight per cent too - not that much, despite the heavy multi-threading, although we suspect the amount of inter-cache snooping that benefits having a L3 cache is limited because each thread works on a completely independent part of the scene.



Single core performance is naturally a lot lower since the clock speed is more limited compared to the similarly priced competition. The difference between the Athlon and same clocked Phenom also remains in the same margin at seven per cent.
