Cinebench R20 (Single-Core)

The version, having become a gold standard of a synthetic benchmark, allows accurately define a CPU performance in Cinema 4 Suite software complex. The most points mean a model’s best efficiency. Hyperthreading is not included.

Cinebench R20 (Multi-Core)

It is a testing performance standard of CPU by Maxon. It is a specialized multi-platform number of tests that estimate the power of all processor cores in rendering mode.

Cinebench R15 (Single-Core)

Cinebench R15 is Maxon’s actual benchmark for older processors versions that test the processor’s performance without hyperthreading in single-core mode.

Cinebench R15 (Multi-Core)

Cinebench R15 benchmark reflects the efficiency of your processor operation in assessment mode. It works on Cinema 4 Suite software complex of the earlier version. Hyperthreading is not included.

iGPU - FP32 Performance (Single-precision GFLOPS)

A benchmark is designed to determine graphics cards’ performance and speed, built into their central processor. It works in iGPU mode, FP32 Performance. The higher the rate is, the better it is.
