Cinebench R10 Rendering Performance
Cinebench R10 is produced by Maxon. It is based on their Cinema 4D animation application and is very CPU intensive. It allows benchmarks to be conducted using one, or all available CPU cores. Additional cores can provide very large improvements in Cinebench scores.
Three tests are conducted using Cinebench. The first is the rendering test utilizing only a single core. The second uses all available cores. Once both tests are conducted, Cinebench reports how much faster the multi-threaded test was. This scaling information is useful to determine how well multiple cores scale during rendering work loads.
The third test is the Cinebench OpenGL benchmark. I’ve thrown it in as well for good measure.
As you can see, in a core-to-core comparison, the 45nm Intel processors are incredibly fast.
Things look a bit different once Cinebench is allowed to use all available cores. The X3 8750 was able to outperform the Intel E8200. All of the X2s fell to the back of the pack, even though they are clocked higher than the X3s.
When looking at the core scaling, you can see that the non-native quad core nature of the Q6600 makes it the least efficient of the bunch. The X3s are quite efficient, with the dual core processors almost perfectly utilized across two cores.
The OpenGL benchmark clearly favors the Intel processors, however the X3s did well compared to the Athlon 64 X2s even though they are clocked lower.
