Maxon Cinebench R15

CINEBENCH R15 is a cross-platform testing suite that measures hardware performance and is the de facto standard benchmarking tool for leading companies and trade journals for conducting real-world hardware performance tests. With the new Release 15, systems with up to 256 threads can be tested.

CINEBENCH is available for both Windows and OS X and is used by almost all hardware manufacturers and trade journals for comparing CPUs and graphics cards. For this test, we used the Armari Magnetar V25R-RA750G2, Scan 3XS GW-HTX35, Armari Magnetar S16T-RW850G2 and S18X-RD850G2, and Armari Magnetar S32-RD1000G2 and Gigabyte MZ01-CE0 motherboard for comparison.

The Intel Xeon E 2176G only has six cores, so it was always going to be at a disadvantage in a multi-threaded test like Cinebench R15 rendering in this company. However, considering that the Armari Magnetar V25-RA750G2 was based around an AMD Ryzen 7 1800X with eight cores, the result of 1,353 is commendable, showing that you can make a decent 3D content creation workstation out of the Gigabyte MW32-SP0 motherboard.

To underline this point, the Maxon Cinebench R15 OpenGL viewport result of 165.76 is impressive, not far off the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 in the Scan 3XS GW-HTX35, although the NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan Xp in the Armari Magnetar S18X-RD850G2 is in a different league.
