CINEBENCH 15 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.
Results in the latest version of Maxon Cinebench parallel those from the previous version, with the M-Cube WS2's extra cores paying dividends for rendering, but the M-Cube WS's clock speed winning out for Open GL modelling.
