8. CINEBENCH
CINEBENCH is the free benchmarking tool for Windows and Mac OS based on the powerful 3D software CINEMA 4D. Consequently, the results of tests conducted using CINEBENCH 9.5 carry significant weight when analyzing a computer’s performance in everyday use.
Especially a system’s CPU and the OpenGL capabilities of its graphics card are put through their paces (even multiprocessor systems with up to 16 dedicated CPUs or processor cores). During the testing procedure, all relevant data is ascertained with which the performance of different computers can subsequently be compared, regardless of operating system. All tests were done with the latest available build (R9.5), and the sum of each subtest is displayed in the following chart..
This is the test in which the XE6800 and E6600 had their smallest difference, only 9.58%, while the IntelD930 performed 44.48% slower than the XE6800.
SuperPI has become an utility to benchmark modern systems. In August 1995, the calculation of pi up to 4,294,960,000 decimal digits was accomplished by using a supercomputer at the University of Tokyo. The program was written by D.Takahashi and he collaborated with Dr. Y.Kanada at the computer center, the University of Tokyo. This record-breaking program was ported to a personal computer environment such as Windows NT and Windows 95 and called Super PI.
The software offers up to 32M calculations of PI numbers. For our CPUs, we tested up to 8M calculations and summed the times taken at each stage for a total score.
The XE6800 again shows its teeth and for 1M+2M+4M+8M needs 5mins and 31.665secs. The E6600 comes close with 6mins and 29.501secs and lastly D930 needs a massive 12mins and 58.281secs. That's 15.54% faster than the XE6800 and 57.75% faster than the D930.
