3D modeling and rendering

Cinebench 2003
Cinebench measures performance in Maxon's Cinema 4D modeling and rendering app. This is the 64-bit version of Cinebench, primed and ready for these 64-bit processors.

This one is another victory for the Core 2, but the contest is a little closer this time, with Athlon 64 processors taking second and fourth places.

Cinebench's shading tests are single-threaded, and they allow us to compare the performance of shading with the Cinema 4D engine and software OpenGL with GPU-accelerated OpenGL. Our three Core 2 processors excel in all cases, whether they are doing the shading themselves or feeding a GPU.
