Cinebench R23 is the latest version of Maxon's render benchmark. It is based on the Cinema 4D application, which is used to generate 3D shapes. We use the single-core as well as the multi-core test here.
The benchmark results of Cinebench R23 can only be compared within this version and are not compatible or comparable with older versions of Cinebench such as Cinebench R20 or Cinebench R15.
The Cinebench R23 benchmark only measures the CPU performance of a processor, the GPU is not tested by Cinebench R23 and has no influence on the result in the benchmark. Experience has shown that the size of the level 3 cache and the speed of the main memory are of secondary importance in Cinebench R23.
Cinebench R23 scales very well with many CPU cores, making it a modern and good benchmark. The processors are evaluated fairly and neutrally, so that this benchmark is also suitable for comparing AMD, Apple or Intel processors with each other. Cinebench R23 can be run multiple times in a row, which can degrade CPU performance in thermally poorly engineered products (especially notebooks). The TDP of a CPU can also be set manually in the BIOS or by the system manufacturer. In our benchmark, we assume the system is in an ideal state (highest permissible TDP and good cooling).
We normalized the results of the benchmark, since they can vary slightly depending on the system (with the same processor). In order to give our visitors a better overview and to be able to compare the processors fairly with one another, we take great care to ensure that the benchmarks are created fairly and authentically. When submitting benchmark results from third parties, we request a screenshot or other evidence to ensure that the system has been truly and correctly tested.
