Cinebench 2024

The Cinebench 2024 benchmark is based on the Redshift rendering engine, which is also used in the 3D program Cinema 4D from the manufacturer Maxon. The benchmark runs are each 10 minutes long to test whether the processor is limited by its heat generation. Cinebench 2024 runs on Windows (x86-64 and arm) and macOS. He can also test the new Apple M processors.

The benchmark has a total of three tests. The CPU performance can be measured when one CPU core is being used or when all CPU cores are being used. The benchmark tests now run significantly longer than before in order to also record the thermal influence of the system. A third test can now also measure the graphics card performance of modern graphics cards.

Due to the relatively long [b]test duration of 10 minutes[/b], systems with undersized cooling solutions, often also notebooks, are measured more realistically. The difference in mobile processors between TDP classes (e.g. 15 watts vs. 45 watts) is now much more realistic.

In the predecessor Cinebench R23, mobile processors with smaller TDP classes often achieved a very similar score to processors of the same architecture with larger TDP classes. This is because even processors with a low TDP deliver similar performance to larger models over a short period of time. Only after some time do these processors begin to throttle their performance. This throttling is now measurable and is fully reflected in the Cinebench 2024 result.

Cinebench 2024, on the other hand, also reacts quite slowly to cache and memory speed. This actually makes it quite uninteresting for players. Nevertheless, the benchmark for determining pure CPU performance is still one of the best benchmarks. It is particularly suitable for very powerful systems where other benchmarks do not scale so well.
