Maxon has released Cinebench R20 for PC and Mac. This is a big update to the popular free benchmark, with its rendering technology now in line with the contemporary Maxon Cinema 4D (R20) software. Cinebench R20 uses a much larger and more complex test scene than R15, requiring about 8x the computational power, and 4x the memory to render it. Unfortunately, due to the big changes under the bonnet, Cinebench 'R15 and R20 results cannot be compared,' says Maxon.

After installing Cinebench I ran the Opencl test and that was fine. When I ran the CPU test it gave an Application Error! After changing the preferences to custom number of render threads to 4 it ran the test. When I put it on 8 it crashes fast, when I put it on 5 it takes longer before it.

Results are expressed in Cinebench scores. Higher scores/longer bars are better. We turned again to Cinebench in our next test, but this time with version R20, which was written only for Intel.
More information about Cinebench R20 is available on Maxon's website. The benchmark is available at the Microsoft Store and Mac App Store. It's free to download, so if you're curious about how.

Cinebench is designed as a real-world test so it is important that as a benchmark it keeps up with the software upon which it is based. Maxon says users will see that it reflects 'the overall advancements to CPU and rendering technology in recent years, providing a more accurate measurement of Cinema 4D's ability to take advantage of multiple CPU cores and modern processor features available to the average user'.

HEXUS regularly uses Cinebench in CPU tests, but not in general PC system and laptop tests. Others may use it to help in their purchase decisions, check cooling system adequacy, check system stability - and even chipmakers can use it to help them with their design optimisations. Overall, with the update, the test becomes more relevant to modern systems.

No GPU test

An important change in R20 is that Cinebench will no longer test GPU performance. However, the CPU tests will utilise newer processor tech such as AVX2, the Intel Embree ray-tracing engine, and more. Thanks to the use of such modern CPU features Cinebench R20 and Cinema 4D R20 can render scenes as much as twice as fast as previously.
