Maxon says users will see that it reflects 'the overall advancements to CPU and rendering technology in recent years, providing a more accurate measurement of Cinema 4D's ability to take advantage of multiple CPU cores and modern processor features available to the average user'. Unfortunately, due to the big changes under the bonnet, Cinebench 'R15 and R20 results cannot be compared,' says Maxon.Ĭinebench is designed as a real-world test so it is important that as a benchmark it keeps up with the software upon which it is based.
Cinebench R20 uses a much larger and more complex test scene than R15, requiring about 8x the computational power, and 4x the memory to render it. This is a big update to the popular free benchmark, with its rendering technology now in line with the contemporary Maxon Cinema 4D (R20) software.
Maxon has released Cinebench R20 for PC and Mac.
