Cinebench 2003
Cinebench is somewhat dated by now but still serves its purpose.
The single-threaded rendering benchmark does not allow multiprocessors or even HyperThreading to play out their strength
The situation changes dramatically in the multithreaded environment. Aside from the obvious shift in ranking, the important issue here is how much can be gained by writing software that actually takes advantage of the hardware present in the system, rather than being a break shoe for the system.
Cinema4D shading is still single threaded and it would be nice to see a multithreaded substitute here as well
Cinebench 2003 is clearly reaching its end of life but also shows the current state of application software compared to what is possible, given the right optimizations are in place to take advantage of modern parallel processing in either form.
