Cinebench R11.5 and R15 64-bit

Download from: www.maxon.net

Cinebench uses Maxon's Cinema 4D engine to render a photo-realistic scene of some shiny balls and weird things (we miss the motorbike). The scene is highly complex, with reflections, ambient occlusion and procedural shaders so it gives a CPU a tough workout.

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

We're in the process of transferring to version R15 but as we've got a useful backlog of results including those for CPUs we no longer have, we thought it would be handy to include the results from both R11.5 and the newer R15.
