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.

The move from two or four cores to six-cores in its latest processors means the likes of the 8750H used here leave older laptops in the dust when it comes to multi-threaded performance. The Acer Predator Helios 300 blasts past machines that are just a couple of years old in multi-threaded performance.

Against modern competitors that use the same Intel processor the Helios 300 comes up ever so slightly short in both multi-threaded performance and single-threaded performance, suggesting it maybe uses a slightly less capable cooling solution, but the margin is small enough to be of very little consequence in day to day use.
