Core i7 5960X - 5930K and 5820K processor review - Performance - FryRender | CineBench

FryRender

FryRender is a benchmarking framework for anyone, not just for 3D users, from hardware integrators or hardware reviewers to die-hard gamers. Since its conception, FryRender has been designed with the aim of being the most muscled engine in its category. As a result, and after several years of intense development, FryRender's core doesn't let a single CPU cycle be wasted. Its routines have been written to be cache efficient, and to take the maximum advantage possible of the new multi-threading capabilities present in modern CPU architectures.

This test is a threaded, highly-optimized and extremely math-intensive application (mostly in floating-point) which makes a very efficient use of the system's cache, we think that FryRender is an one of the best tools for measuring "how much brute computational power" a computer is able to deliver. Above, highlighted is the CPU tested. Frybench also makes use of better memory bandwith, that shows in the results with the DDR4 memory in use.

CineBench

CINEBENCH is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer's performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON's 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. This test scenario uses all of your system's processing power to render a photorealistic 3D scene (from the viral 'No Keyframes' animation by AixSponza). This scene makes use of various different algorithms to stress all available processor cores. The Cinema 4D engine also has a yearning thirst for HyperThreading. The test scene contains approximately 2,000 objects containing more than 300,000 total polygons and uses sharp and blurred reflections, area lights and shadows, procedural shaders, antialiasing, and much more. The result is given in points; the higher the number, the faster the processor. 

This test can measure systems with up to 64 processor threads and even with a new 8-core processor, we are only using 16 threads. Cinebench is what Guru3D considers to be one of the best CPU benchmarks when it comes to measuring RAW logical performance and shows an excellent result in terms of RAW and brute processor performance scaling.
