CINEBENCH R11.5 64 Bit is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON’s award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more.

CINEBENCH is the perfect tool to compare CPU and graphics performance across various systems and platforms (Windows and Mac OS X). And best of all: It’s completely free.

Cinebench's CPU rendering test is fully multi-threaded, so the Xeon E5-2690v2's ten, hyperthreading cores are at an advantage over the frequency-enhanced 4.3GHz Core i5 of the M-Cube WS, or the eight cores of the M-Cube WS2. In fact, with almost twice the performance of the latter, the Armari is almost a render farm-in-a-box – particularly impressive for a single-socket system.

The OpenGL result is good, and this test generally favours AMD graphics cards, although the W8100 is only marginally ahead of the K5000 here.
