Improvements to Cinebench Release 23 reflect 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. With R23 has MAXON made some changes. MAXON is responding to current CPU developments, where manufacturers are increasingly granting their processors a higher TDP budget for a limited period in order to achieve better results in short-running benchmarks. In Cinebench R23 you can therefore set whether the test should only run once, as before, or at least 10 minutes in order to both bypass the TDP budget limits and also to record possible throttling, especially in the notebook area. In addition, the benchmark can now be used as a 30 minute stability test. Unlike the R15 , but like the R20 , the R23 is no longer a pure CPU test; the workloads are now too big to fit completely into the CPU caches. Therefore the RAM speed also has a small influence on the result.
Of course, in our benchmark mayhem forums, we have started a new thread where you can share results, check that here.
