Discussion Cinebench 2024 Released

Supposedly there is INi file that can turn off some SIMD stuff:

So playing with it could reveal "speed up" factor.

I tried this, and it slowed it down. That is enabling things like avx and sse1, etc.... it slowed down about 3%. Maybe someone else who knows better can play with enabling something, but I am done.

Maybe in the next CB, they decide to include a heterogeneous test using all available CPU/GPU cores. The decision to use a highly parallel algo to maximize GPU parallelism has the unfortunate side effect of making all existing CPU cores look really wimpy.

Wouldn't it basically just be adding the two scores together? GPUs are just better at the workload so even lumping in the CPU cores wouldn't move the needle much unless you've got a 128 core server chip paired with a 1030 or something like that.

I guess it would be good for thermals testing or seeing how an APU performs under near 100% load on both the CPU and GPU.

The graphics test didn't get the fans to ramp up either. The CPU use was only ~5% across the system during the run so there was probably plenty of thermal headroom.

Pretty dang good showing for Apple cores here.

Yeah they definitely punch above their weight class in CPU. But the dedicated video encoder hardware is really impressive.

The last Intel Mac I had could render video reasonably well and could spit out decent quality encodings at a littler under one minute per minute of video. You could tell it was hard at work because it didn't take even a minute for the fans to be going full throttle.

The MBP I have now will do even better quality in a few minutes and you the lack of fans still makes me think it hasn't actually started the encoding yet by the time it's already done.

I remember using some of the old POWER Macs where you'd just set it to render/encode overnight because it would take that long, but even that was considered fast for 1080p video.

I decided to try my R5 3600 system:

Isn't Cinebench a benchmark for the capabilities of a PC for running Maxon software instead of a generalistic benchmark despite how they sell it?

Its generally accepted that its a good multicore benchmark

For FP eventually but it s useless fon INT, in this latter case 7 ZIP is infinitely more relevant, previously AT used it as a benchmark for servers ST and MT expected perfs.

Seems nobody's bothered to bench an AMD GPU so I'll add the pathetic score of my RX 5700: (3246)




I was also surprised by how it didn't spin up the fans at all. It seemed to be under full load though according to GPU-z.
