Download Cinebench R23.2 Download | TechSpot

Cinebench is a real-world benchmark that evaluates your computer’s hardware capabilities. For over a decade, Cinebench has been a popular tool for evaluating hardware performance, and we use it extensively to test the latest CPUs at TechSpot Reviews. Cinebench results are used by computer owners to evaluate their systems, journalists to evaluate hardware, hardware manufacturers to optimize their products, and system administrators to make purchasing decisions.

Improvements to Cinebench R23 reflect the general advances in CPU and rendering technology over the past few years, and provide a more accurate measurement of Cinema 4D’s ability to take advantage of more CPU cores and modern processor features available to the average user. Best of all: It’s free.

How does Cinebench work?

Cinebench uses the CPU to produce a single image using the latest ray tracing techniques. It’s great for analyzing how well a CPU manages threads and memory. Cinebench can be configured to render the scene using a specific amount of threads, starting with just 1 (essentially just one core of the CPU) all the way up to 256.

Can I use Cinebench to measure CPU and GPU?

Cinebench is a CPU benchmarking application. The GPU is not used in the test, it is only used to send output to the screen.

Does Cinebench support Apple’s M1 processor?

Yes, Cinebench R23 supports Apple Arm-powered silicon computing systems.

How long is a Cinebench test?

Normally, Cinebench takes 10 minutes to measure your CPU.

Can the benchmark hurt my CPU?

No, Cinebench only measures your CPU performance. It produces a score to compare PC systems. If the temps and voltages are safe, it won’t harm the computer.

Functions

Main processor (CPU) performance

The test scenario uses the entire system’s processing power to render a photorealistic 3D scene (from the viral “No Keyframes” animation by AixSponza). This stage uses different algorithms to stress all available processor cores.

In fact, Cinebench can measure systems with up to 256 processor threads. This test scene contains approximately 2,000 objects, which in turn contains more than 300,000 polygons in total, and uses sharp and unsharp reflections, area lights, shadows, procedural shading, antialiasing, and much more. The result is shown in points (points). The higher the number, the faster the processor.

Graphics card performance (OpenGL)

This procedure uses a complex 3D scene showing a car chase (created by renderbaron) that measures the performance of your graphics card in OpenGL mode. Performance depends on various factors, such as the GPU processor of your hardware, the drivers used. The graphics card must display a huge amount of geometry (nearly 1 million polygons) and textures, as well as a variety of effects, such as environments, bump maps, transparency, lighting and more to evaluate performance across different disciplines and provide a good average view over the capabilities of your graphics hardware. The result is measured in frames per second (fps). The higher the number, the faster your graphics card is.

Who should use Maxon Cinebench?

Anyone who needs to evaluate hardware performance should add Maxon Cinebench to their arsenal of testing tools. System administrators can use Cinebench to make purchasing decisions, journalists can use the results to evaluate hardware, hardware manufacturers can use the feedback to optimize their latest products. Any computer owner can evaluate his or her individual system. Unlike abstract benchmarks, which only test specific functions of CPUs or GPUs, Cinebench offers a real-world benchmark that includes a user’s common tasks in CINEMA 4D to measure a system’s performance. For those who need to do a serious amount of testing, Cinebench also offers a command line option, which allows users to run automated test procedures.

What is new

• Cinebench R23 now supports Apple’s M1-powered computer systems
• Cinebench is now based on the latest version 23 code using updated compilers, and has a minimum runtime enabled by default (previously hidden in preferences)
• Cinebench R23 provides improved benchmark accuracy for current and next generation CPUs to test whether a machine runs stably at high CPU load, whether the cooling solution of a desktop or laptop is sufficient for longer running tasks to deliver the full potential of the CPU’ one, and if a machine is capable of handling demanding 3D tasks in real life.
• Users now have the option to test the single core performance directly without manually enabling the “Advanced benchmark” option. “Advanced Benchmark” allows users to set arbitrary minimum runtimes to stress test the hardware for even longer periods of time.
• Due to the code and compiler changes, the Cinebench score values ​​are adjusted to a new range, so they should not be compared to scores from previous versions of Cinebench.
• Cinebench R23 does not test GPU performance.
• Cinebench R23 will not launch on unsupported processors. On systems lacking sufficient RAM to load the test scene, a warning will appear and the CPU benchmark will not be performed.
• Background tasks can significantly affect the measurement and create diverse results. It’s always a good idea to shut down all running programs and disable any virus checking or disk indexing, but it’s impossible to eliminate all background processes. Modern operating systems perform various background tasks that cannot or should not be disabled, although they may have a minor influence on performance.
• Test results may vary slightly because it is impossible to disable all background tasks in the operating system. These tasks are a factor that can have a small influence on measurements. Modern computers and graphics cards also adjust clock speeds dynamically based on environmental conditions such as current and temperature. For example, processors will reduce their clock speed when they are running too hot to allow for cooling and prevent damage. With many modern processors, the opposite is also true. They manage to overclock themselves when the temperature is low enough. Therefore, a system freshly started in a relatively cool environment will typically run faster than the same system that has been running benchmarks for several hours in a heated office.
• It is also possible to launch MAXON Cinebench with command line options. See your operating system manual for how to start a program using the command line. After the name of the program, enter one of the options below. MAXON Cinebench will then run, run the specified test, then exit and display the result in the command line console. The result is not saved as a file.
• The following command line options are available:
  • g_CinebenchCpu1Test=true – only runs the Single Core test procedure
  • g_CinebenchCpuXTest=true – only runs the Multi Core test procedure
  • g_CinebenchAllTests=true – runs all test procedures sequentially
  • g_CinebenchMinimumTestDuration=100 – sets a minimum test duration of 100 seconds
• To get a proper console log on Windows, you need to add an extra command before Cinebench’s executable name. Example:
  • start /b /wait “parentconsole” Cinebench.exe g_CinebenchAllTests=true

Note: Test results may vary slightly because it is impossible to disable all background tasks in the operating system. These tasks are a factor that can have a small influence on measurements. Modern computers and graphics cards also adjust clock speeds dynamically based on environmental conditions such as current and temperature. For example, processors will reduce their clock speed when they are running too hot to allow for cooling and prevent damage. With many modern processors, the opposite is also true. They manage to overclock themselves when the temperature is low enough. Therefore, a system freshly started in a relatively cool environment will typically run faster than the same system that has been running benchmarks for several hours in a heated office.

Cinebench R23 is the latest release of the benchmark, but Cinebench R20 is still widely used for testing, you can select and download it by selecting the appropriate version in the download options menu. We also host Cinebench R15 for Windows and Mac for the same reasons.
