Cinebench R20 download taken offline after legal threat from Maxon
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.

CB is nothing more than a synthetic test and therefore is useless beyond benchmarking. If it weren't already popular, they couldn't afford to pull something like this.
All that being said, I never really cared much for CB test results. Theoretical performance means nothing to me if it doesn't represent what my actual experience will be.

I don't even have that crappy store. Good job maxon, you're cutting down your own program's downloads... rather stupid for a program that lives off people downloading it.

Definitely an odd decision, but not a deal breaker I'd personally say.

Boycot something that's free? Elaborate...
By no longer using it anymore maybe?
It's really sad that techsites are getting legal threats. It say's a lot about the company (Maxon) behind it.
Maxon should be thankfull sites like guru3d are essentially freely spreading their advertisement software, legal threats is a weird way to say thank you.
