Maxon CINEBENCH Results

Cinebench is a real-world test suite that assesses the computer's performance capabilities. Maxon Cinebench is based on Maxon's award-winning animation software, Cinema 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. Maxon software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more.

Maxon Cinebench runs several tests on your computer to measure the performance of the main processor and the graphics card under real world circumstances. The benchmark application makes use of up to 16 CPUs or CPU cores and is available for Windows (32-bit and 64-Bit) and Macintosh (PPC and Intel-based). The resulting values among different operating systems are 100% comparable and therefore very useful with regard to purchasing decision-making. It can also be used as a marketing tool for hardware vendors or simply to compare hardware among colleagues or friends.

The OpenGL test measures graphics card performance and is run inside the 3D editor window. The project file used can test all graphics cards that support the OpenGL standard. In this scene, only the camera was animated. This scene places medium to low demands on graphics cards and tests the maximum speed with which the scene can be properly displayed at the 800x580 resolution. Essentially, the Cinebench test removes the system hardware from the scoring influence, and centers the results around the GPU.

Using processor-only graphics computation and ignoring the installed video card, Cinebench R10 revealed very interesting results which have been illustrated in the chart above.

In terms of OpenGL CPU-generated graphics performance the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 beats out the ASUS P6X58D-Premium by nearly 5%, but only before slipping back to reference levels in Single-CPU and Multiple-CPU render tests. The Intel Core i7-920 processor we've tested on each platform appears to perform extremely well on all X58-Express motherboards, with only a minor degree of difference between benchmark results. Synthetic results are likely to continue matching each other across the board, which will place emphasis on power consumption and overclocking features.

NOTICE: Because Award BIOS software is used on Gigabyte motherboards and American Megatrends is utilized by ASUS motherboard products, it's difficult to guarantee that processor and memory hardware configuration settings precisely match each other between manufacturers. Minor differences in clock speed rendering or deep-set advanced memory timing latency may account for performance differences within a small margin of error.
