Maxon, developers of software solutions for editors, filmmakers, motion designers, visual effects artists and creators, announced the highly anticipated release of Cinebench 2024.
What is the market offering of Cinebench 2024?
This latest iteration of the industry-standard benchmarking software, which has been a cornerstone in computer performance evaluation for two decades, sets a new standard for performance evaluation, embracing cutting-edge technology to provide artists, designers, and creators with a more accurate and relevant representation of their hardware capabilities.
Redshift Rendering Engine Integration
Cinebench 2024 ushers in a new era by embracing the power of Redshift, Cinema 4D’s default rendering engine. Unlike its predecessors, which utilized Cinema 4D’s standard renderer, Cinebench 2024 utilizes the same render algorithms across both CPU and GPU implementations. This leap to the Redshift engine ensures that performance testing aligns with the demands of modern creative workflows, delivering accurate and consistent results.
Dual Performance Evaluation: CPU and GPU
Cinebench 2024 reinstates GPU benchmarking, a feature absent from Cinebench for the past decade. This not only evaluates CPU performance; it also provides insights into the GPU’s capabilities, reflecting the evolving tech landscape of creative software and workflows.
Wider Platform Compatibility
Cinebench 2024 is designed to accommodate broader hardware configurations. It supports x86/64 architecture (Intel/AMD) on Windows and macOS, and Arm64 architecture to extend its reach to Apple silicon on macOS and Snapdragon® compute silicon on Windows, ensuring compatibility with the latest advancements in hardware tech. Redshift GPU performance can be evaluated on systems with compatible Nvidia, AMD and Apple graphics processors.
Unified Benchmarking Scene
Cinebench 2024 streamlines the benchmarking process by utilizing a consistent scene file for both CPU and GPU testing. This new groundbreaking innovation enables users to discern the advantages of leveraging Redshift GPU, ultimately providing a real-world glimpse into the benefits of harnessing cutting-edge graphics hardware for rendering tasks.
Revamped User Interface
Cinebench 2024 introduces a revamped user interface that enhances the user experience and showcases the incredible artistic endeavors achieved with the Redshift render engine in Cinema 4D. This dynamic interface serves as a testament to the potential of the Redshift engine while offering users a more intuitive and visually engaging experience.
Under-the-Hood Enhancements
Beyond the surface, Cinebench 2024 brings forth a host of performance-enhancing features. With a threefold increase in memory footprint compared to Cinebench R23, the software caters to the memory-intensive demands of modern projects. Moreover, a six-fold rise in computational effort and utilization of newer instruction sets ensures a benchmark that resonates with the complexity and sophistication of contemporary creative projects.
Unparalleled Performance Evaluation
It’s crucial to note that Cinebench 2024 scores cannot be directly compared to those of its predecessor, Cinebench R23. But with the incorporation of Redshift, a different rendering engine, larger memory footprint, and more complex scenes, Cinebench 2024 now offers a distinctly enhanced and accurate evaluation of modern hardware capabilities.
Cinebench 2024 is immediately available for download starting today on the Maxon website. Creatives, gamers and technology enthusiasts are invited to explore this groundbreaking benchmarking tool and experience firsthand the leap in performance evaluation that it offers.
