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.
It's clear to see that the Intel Core i7-8700 used here is more than capable of keeping up with the big boys, with the Corsair One Elite's 8700K delivering a mere 2% more performance. The single-core score of 194 is also very nippy, and really highlights just how good Intel's boost clock performance is for single-core use.
How this translates to real-world usage will be that this PC has all the power most users will need for even heavy-duty multi-tasking, video editing, and many other intense, professional tasks. Meanwhile gaming shouldn't ever be held back by the CPU to any significant degree.
