3D Rendering Performance

Cinebench

Cinebench2003 evolved into Cinebench 9.5 with added 64-bit capabilities and has recently been replaced by Cinebench 10. While it is always desirable to have the latest benchmarks available to take advantage of e.g. SSE4 instructions, the older versions are by no means obsolete.

Cinebench 9.5

Score, higher is better!

Cinebench 10

Cinebench 10 has ridded itself of some of the more obscure benchmarks and the current version only features a single / multi CPU rendering benchmark along with an OpenGL exercise that we are not going to consider further.

Single CPU and Multi CPU performance in Cinebench 10; Score: Higher is better

Cinebench 10 is capable of using SSE4 instructions and there is a 10% performance improvement compared to the QX6850 running at the same speed. Hyperthreading causes a performance hit as shown in the case of the P4 840 Extreme Edition.
