For the purpose of significantly improving comparability, sp00n, who is active on GitHub and Hardwareluxx, among others, has compiled many benchmark results for different Cinebench versions.

More results are available there for Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and 2024. He makes these available for download on his GitHub repository:

To use the downloaded text files, copy the ones that match your version to the “cb_ranking” subfolder in the respective program directory. Then simply start Cinebench and the list of comparison results should be considerably longer.

The underlying product is Cinema 4D from the German company Maxon – a performance-hungry rendering software.
Its development history is really interesting; the first version was released back in 1993 for the Commodore Amiga.

This software was used in several movies, for example:

• The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)
• Beowulf (2007)
• The Golden Compass (2007)
• Surf’s Up (2007)
• Spider-Man 3 (2007)
• Chronicles of Narnia (Part 1: 2005 / Part 2: 2008 / Part 3: 2010)
• Serenity (2005)
• Inception (2010)
• Van Helsing (2004)
• The Polarexpress (2004)
• He Was a Quiet Man (2007)
• Iron Man 3 (2013)
• Pacific Rim (2013)
• Furious 7 (2015)
• Avengers: Endgame (2019)

…Bleeding edge rendering technology, you might say. Cinebench was then created to test the performance of hardware for use with Cinema 4D: The first version was released at the end of 1999 and was called “Cinebench 2000”. Since then, there have been regular new releases of this benchmark and annual releases of the actual Cinema 4D software, available for Windows and macOS (newer versions for x86, x86-64, and ARM64).

Cinebench is mainly used to test processors; either all threads or a single thread can be fully loaded and measured. Many versions also offer GPU testing. Here is an overview of the different versions in the form of screenshots:

Compatibility and more detailed information

Here, I have compiled a table of all versions known to me, including relevant information:

I myself always use version R23 wherever possible, including additional results for better comparability (more on this in the next post). In terms of load and the hardware period I’m dealing with, this is a good compromise between load and compatibility: After all, I work a lot with older systems (Windows 10 and older) – so it’s helpful when two slower cores and relatively little RAM are still able to run in order to compare the existing hardware or test the effects of settings.

Regardless of this, R23 is also my standard version for overclocking processors and the version used in this blog to test and measure almost all CPUs that appear in “Hardware Setups”.

Even the first version, “CineBench 2000,” is still executable under Windows 11 (64-bit) today!

Download

All versions can be conveniently downloaded from TechPowerUp, among other places.
