CINEBENCH R10

The MAXON CINEBENCH R10 is based on their MAXON CINEMA 4D software. Other than being famous for their prolific use of capital letters, MAXON is also famous for providing the useful CINEBENCH benchmark, now in its tenth release. It is fully-optimized for multi-core processing and is thus the favourite benchmark of processor companies.

CINEBENCH tests the speed of the processors in rendering a 3D scene with the option to render on a single processing core or all available processing cores. So, it's great for demonstrating the performance difference of single core processors vs. multi-core processors. We obtained the results in form of the render time in seconds. A shorter render time is always better.

The D0 stepping improved the rendering time of CINEBENCH R10 by 3-4% over the C0 stepping. This is a significant boost in performance.

When multi-core rendering was enabled, the performance difference was imperceptible as CINEBENCH R10 only records the render time in full seconds. Only at 2.66 GHz was the D0 stepping able to shave two full seconds off the render time of the C0 stepping.
