Cinebench 2024 - A Developer's Vision Realized Crafting the Benchmarking Tool for the Community

For decades, Cinebench has held a special place in the hearts of artists, designers, filmmakers, gamers and hardware evaluators. As a benchmarking tool, it goes beyond mere numbers and statistics, embodying the essence of real-world performance evaluation. With the launch of Cinebench 2024, we wanted to reshape the landscape of performance assessment.

Cinebench has always mirrored the actual challenges faced by creative professionals. It doesn’t just test hardware indiscriminately; it simulates the intense demands of bringing artistic visions to life. It utilizes real-world scenes created by artists (the Cinebench 2024 scene being created by Oly Stingel). These scenes are not optimized for specific hardware, but actually represent the realities of what it takes to achieve one’s artistic endeavors. Every artist understands and values the iterative process—the constant rendering, re-rendering, and the refining of details; the pursuit of perfection. Cinebench measures the rendering speed and helps to determine if a more powerful CPU or GPU would improve your workflow.

This philosophy has always guided Cinebench’s evolution. The move to utilize the Redshift rendering engine brings GPU testing back into focus. The demands of modern creative workflows require a holistic evaluation of both CPU and GPU capabilities. Cinebench 2024 steps up to the challenge, offering insights into how hardware performs in a world where graphics, math and arts are intertwined.

Cinebench 2024 isn't just an update; it's a leap into the future. The benchmark now spans a broader range of hardware configurations, from x86/64 architecture to Apple Silicon on macOS and Arm64 CPUs on Windows. For GPUs Cinebench supports AMD, Apple and Nvidia graphics processors including multi-GPU setups. With a threefold increase in memory footprint compared to its predecessor, the software caters to the memory-intensive demands of modern creative projects. With a six-fold rise in computational effort, coupled with the utilization of newer instruction sets the benchmark reflects the complexity of contemporary creative workflows. This embrace of the latest technological advancements on its hardware platforms ensures that Cinebench remains relevant in an evolving computational landscape.

While Cinebench’s technological underpinnings built upon Cinema 4D 2024 and Redshift are compelling, we also considered the user experience. The revamped interface is more than a cosmetic makeover; it's a testament to the possibilities that the Redshift engine unlocks. It showcases the incredible feats that artists can achieve, painting a vivid picture of the potential that lies within this benchmarking tool.

It's important to understand that Cinebench 2024 isn't a mere iteration of its predecessor. The incorporation of the Redshift rendering engine, the larger memory footprint, and the more complex scene all contribute to a distinctly enhanced and accurate evaluation of modern hardware capabilities. Therefore, the comparison of results with previous versions is not viable since Cinebench 2024 targets the demands of the present and the future.
