Orange OPC Review

Henry Butt August 15, 2012 Featured Announcement, PC

Cinebench R11.5 is the newest revision of the popular benchmark from Maxon. The test scenario uses all of your system’s processing power to render a photorealistic 3D scene (from the viral “No Keyframes” animation by AixSponza). This scene makes use of various different algorithms to stress all available processor cores.

In fact, CINEBENCH can measure systems with up to 64 processor threads. The test scene contains approximately 2,000 objects containing more than 300,000 total polygons and uses sharp and blurred reflections, area lights and shadows, procedural shaders, antialiasing, and much more. The result is given in points (pts). The higher the number, the faster your processor.

Here we can see how the CPU performance benefits from having hyper threading enabled as we see more than two times scaling with multi threads enabled.

yeah I agree, the case alone is worth at least £250 of the asking price, with speakers etc inside. that is really an unusual product, love it.

I just need to learn to play an instrument now or I would feel this is wasted on me.

ANyone here know if the software they include is any good? add some value to the price?

I wasn’t sure if the e-mail I got was KitGuru or Ultimate-Guitar…

The price is a bit high, but you have to note that you are basically getting a sold-state amp with a Micro-ITX computer mixed. A decent solid-state amp could cost as much as a lower-end PC while a real tube amp could be as much as a gaming machine. I see that with every other guitar/amp company they have changed to the Heavy/Death Metal scene.even though it looks psychedellic.
