Cinebench R23 (Single-Core)
The sequel to Cinebench R20, Cinebench R23, is also built on the Cinema 4 Suite. A widely used piece of software to build 3D forms is Cinema 4. The number of cores or the capacity for hyperthreading are irrelevant in the single-core test because only one CPU core is used.
Cinebench R20 (Single-Core)
The replacement for Cinebench R15, Cinebench R20, is built on the Cinema 4 Suite. A widely used piece of software to build 3D forms is Cinema 4. The number of cores or the capacity for hyperthreading are irrelevant in the single-core test because only one CPU core is used.
Cinebench R20 (Multi-Core)
The replacement for Cinebench R15, Cinebench R20, is built on the Cinema 4 Suite. A widely used piece of software to build 3D forms is Cinema 4. All CPU cores are used in the multi-core test, which greatly benefits from hyperthreading.
Geekbench 5,64bit (Single-Core)
Cross-platform benchmark Geekbench 5 makes heavy use of the computer’s memory. A quick memory will greatly accelerate the outcome. The number of cores or the capacity for hyperthreading are irrelevant in the single-core test because only one CPU core is used.
Geekbench 5,64bit (Multi-Core)
Cross-platform benchmark Geekbench 5 makes heavy use of the computer’s memory. A quick memory will greatly accelerate the outcome. All CPU cores are used in the multi-core test, which greatly benefits from hyperthreading.
CPU-Z Benchmark 17 (Single-Core)
The CPU-Z benchmark calculates the time it takes a system to finish all benchmark calculations in order to assess a processor’s performance. The score increases as the benchmark is achieved more quickly.
CPU-Z Benchmark 17 (Multi-Core)
By tracking how long it takes a system to finish all benchmark calculations, the CPU-Z test gauges a processor’s efficiency. The greater the score, the quicker the benchmark must be accomplished.
Blender 3.1 Benchmark
The scenes “monster,” “junkshop,” and “classroom” are produced as part of the Blender Benchmark 3.1, and the system’s rendering time is recorded. In our benchmark, the CPU, not the graphics card, is tested. In March 2022, Blender 3.1 was unveiled as a stand-alone version.
Estimated results for PassMark CPU Mark
The CPU-monkey benchmark has been applied to several of the CPUs listed below. The majority of CPUs, however, have not been put to the test, and the results have been calculated using a CPU-monkey exclusive secret method. As a result, they are not supported by PassMark Software Pty Ltd. and do not accurately reflect the official Passmark CPU mark values.
Blender 2.81 (bmw27)
Free 3D graphics programmed called Blender may be used to render (create) 3D bodies, which can then be animated and given textures. The Blender benchmark builds predefined scenarios and counts the number of seconds needed to complete each scene. The better, the less time is needed. The benchmark scenario that we choose is bmw27.
V-Ray CPU-Render Benchmark
V-Ray is a 3D rendering programme for designers and artists from the company Chaos. Contrary to many other render engines, V-Ray has the ability to perform simultaneous CPU and GPU-based hybrid rendering.
The CPU test (CPU Render Mode) we utilised, however, solely makes use of the system’s processor. The V-Ray benchmark heavily relies on the working memory used. We use the quickest RAM standard permitted by the vendor for our benchmarks (without overclocking).
V-Ray is a widely used software because of its high level of compatibility, which includes Autodesk 3ds Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, SketchUp, Unreal Engine, and Blender. V-Ray, for instance, may be used to produce photos that are so realistic that the average person cannot tell them apart from regular photographs.
Monero Hashrate kH/s
Since November 2019, the crypto currency Monero has started utilizing the Random algorithm. Only a processor (CPU) or graphics card can be used to calculate this PoW (proof of work) algorithm effectively (GPU). Up until November 2019, Monero employed the CryptoNight algorithm, although ASICs could calculate it. High CPU core counts, cache, and quick memory connections across as many memory channels as possible are all advantages of Random. tested using the HiveOS operating system and XMRig v6.x.
Cinebench R15 (Single-Core)
The successor to Cinebench 11.5 is Cinebench R15, which is similarly built on the Cinema 4 Suite. A widely used piece of software to build 3D forms is Cinema 4. The number of cores or the capacity for hyperthreading are irrelevant in the single-core test because only one CPU core is used.
Cinebench R15 (Multi-Core)
The successor to Cinebench 11.5 is Cinebench R15, which is similarly built on the Cinema 4 Suite. A widely used piece of software to build 3D forms is Cinema 4. All CPU cores are used in the multi-core test, which greatly benefits from hyperthreading.
News and articles for the Intel Core i5-10400F and the AMD Ryzen 5 3600
The power AMD has developed in the processor market over the past few years is once again demonstrated by a direct comparison of the Intel Core i5-10400F and AMD Ryzen 5 3600.
A 6 core CPU with a maximum turbo clock speed of 4.3 GHz, the Intel Core i5-10400F. Accordingly, it is faster than the AMD processor on paper. However, the fundamental clock rate already demonstrates that Intel and AMD are not on the same playing field. The Intel is nearly 20% (0.7 GHz) slower at 2.9 Ghz.
With a clock speed of 2933, the Intel Core i5-10400F supports up to 128 GB of DDR4 RAM.
The LGA 1200 socket is intended for the 14nm Intel processor. Unfortunately, it only supports PCIe 3.0, preventing the use of extremely fast SSD hard drives among other things.
The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is a mid-range Zen 2 processor that is made in a 7 nm technology. He can utilise the most recent hardware components thanks to the connection via PCIe 4.0 and 20 PCIe lines. Because it can support RAM up to DDR4-3200, the AMD is a great partner for a gaming PC. Additionally, the L3 cache is substantially bigger. The well-known AM4 platform serves as the foundation for the Ryzen.
Both processors have a TDP of 65W, which is the same. In a price comparison, the Intel processor comes out on top. This comparison also demonstrates that you can get more performance for a higher price.
In the end, a direct comparison of the benchmarks will also demonstrate this.
The current Cinebench single-core testing shows the Intel Core i5 to be approximately 11% behind the AMD Ryzen 5 while the multi-core benchmark shows it to be approximately 19% behind.
Similar results can be seen in the other benchmarks, such as Geekbench 5. Although there are not many changes, in this case, they are nevertheless apparent.
