Cinebench R20 download taken offline after legal threat from Maxon

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/07/2019 03:07 PM | source: | 80 comment(s)

We have been happy to report that Maxon released a new revision of its CineBench benchmark Release 20. Unfortunately, Maxon has made a legal threat against Guru3D.com and is forcing us to take the Cinebench R20 download offline.

Maxon Computer GmBh will only allow the download of Cinebench R20 through UWP (Microsoft Store). Though we strongly feel that this is a community tool which belongs in the public domain we obviously totally need to respect what the publisher deems appropriate for them. It’s unfortunate, but it is what it is.

You can download Cinebench R20 through the Microsoft Store through this link.

I kind of figured they might do that so I hurried and grabbed mine before hand because I hate the MS store.

Windows Store is garbage. Countless reasons, all well known.

Why does Maxon even care? The only people that really use benchmarks are enthusiasts. Why go all legal action with an enthusiast site for having the audacity to host their free benchmark?

I'm gunna mirror it everywhere and then send them the :refuck: emoji.

1. It's free software
2. There is no legal disclaimer enforcing distribution requirements bound to the package.

Maxon is in the wrong lol.

I dont get it, Guru3d has distributed versions of cine-bench for more than a decade.
Just goes to show that they don't value the longstanding relationship with community over whatever deal they have with Microshaft to push the craptacular winblows store.

What is stupid is that they have this on their page:

Supported Systems:

PC
Windows 7 SP1 64-bit or higher

How will I test it on my Windows 7? Just more company BS....

I don't understand why people are not considering Luxmark as a better alternative. It is based on open source tools, is multi-platform, can render in openCL or C++ modes and is more demanding than Cinebench R15 in the complex scene "Hotel Lobby":

I've once used the Windows store once to download a windows store only game and that was such a feces fest that I've decided to never ever use the windows store again. Guess I will not be using R20....
