Cinebench 10
Cinebench 10 is based on the 3D software Cinema 4D and it is very useful to measure the performance gain given by having more than one CPU installed on the system when rendering heavy 3D images. Rendering is one area that having more than one CPU helps a lot, because usually rendering software recognizes several CPUs – Cinebench, for instance, can use up to 16 CPUs.

Since we were interested in measuring the rendering performance, we ran the test called “Rendering x CPUs”, which renders a “heavy” sample image using all available CPUs (or cores) to speed up the process.

Core 2 Duo E8400, Core 2 Quad Q6600, Phenom X3 8750, Phenom X4 9550

Here Core 2 Quad Q6600 was the fastest CPU, being 21.91% faster than Phenom X4 9550, 37.06% faster than Core 2 Duo E8400 and 47.35% faster than Phenom X3 8750.

The surprise here was that Core 2 Duo E8400 was 7.51% faster than Phenom X3 8750, so it seems that the higher clock from Core 2 Duo E8400 overcame the extra core from Phenom X3.
