The Cinebench 2024 benchmark is based on the Redshift rendering engine, which is also used in Maxon's 3D program Cinema 4D. The benchmark runs are each 10 minutes long to test whether the processor is limited by its heat generation.
The Multi-Core test of the Cinebench 2024 benchmark uses all cpu cores to render using the Redshift rendering engine, which is also used in Maxons Cinema 4D. The benchmark run is 10 minutes long to test whether the processor is limited by its heat generation.
Cinebench R23 is the successor of Cinebench R20 and is also based on the Cinema 4 Suite. Cinema 4 is a worldwide used software to create 3D forms. The single-core test only uses one CPU core, the amount of cores or hyperthreading ability doesn't count.

Geekbench 6 is a benchmark for modern computers, notebooks and smartphones. What is new is an optimized utilization of newer CPU architectures, e.g. based on the big.LITTLE concept and combining CPU cores of different sizes. The single-core benchmark only evaluates the performance of the fastest CPU core, the number of CPU cores in a processor is irrelevant here.

What is new is an optimized utilization of newer CPU architectures, e.g. based on the big.LITTLE concept and combining CPU cores of different sizes. The multi-core benchmark evaluates the performance of all of the processor's CPU cores. Virtual thread improvements such as AMD SMT or Intel's Hyper-Threading have a positive impact on the benchmark result.

The theoretical computing performance of the internal graphics unit of the processor with simple accuracy (32 bit) in GFLOPS. GFLOPS indicates how many billion floating point operations the iGPU can perform per second.
In the Blender Benchmark 3.1, the scenes "monster", "junkshop" and "classroom" are rendered and the time required by the system is measured. In our benchmark we test the CPU and not the graphics card. Blender 3.1 was presented as a standalone version in March 2022.
Some of the CPUs listed below have been benchmarked by CPU-monkey. However the majority of CPUs have not been tested and the results have been estimated by a CPU-monkey’s secret proprietary formula. As such they do not accurately reflect the actual Passmark CPU mark values and are not endorsed by PassMark Software Pty Ltd.
The CPU-Z benchmark measures a processor's performance by measuring the time it takes the system to complete all benchmark calculations. The faster the benchmark is completed, the higher the score.

Efficiency of the processor under full load in the Cinebench R23 (multi-core) benchmark. The benchmark result is divided by the average energy required (CPU package power in watts). The higher the value, the more efficient the CPU is under full load.
These two mid-range processors are 2 models with 6 physical cores, which come from the desktop area and can be installed in any self-built computer with a suitable mainboard. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G was released in Q2 2021, while the Intel Core i5-10400 was released in Q2 2020.
The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G has 12 computing threads available due to the hyperthreading technology used, and it can also be overclocked thanks to the free multiplier. The Intel Core i5-10400 also supports Hyperthreading, but cannot be overclocked, this is reserved for Intel processors with a "K" at the end of the name.
The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G clocks at up to 4.40 gigahertz and the Intel Core i5-10400, slightly lower, at up to 4.30 gigahertz. our benchmarks show that the AMD processor is about 20-30 percent faster than the Intel i5.
Both processors have an internal graphics unit. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G uses the Radeon 7 Graphics. This iGPU clocks at 1.90 gigahertz and has 7 execution units with a total of 448 shaders. The Intel UHD Graphics 630 is integrated in the Intel Core i5-10400. This graphics unit clocks at up to 1.20 gigahertz and has 24 execution units with a total of 192 shaders. The AMD graphics achieves an FP32 computing power (single precision) of 1702 GigaFLOPS and is therefore significantly more powerful than the graphics unit of the Intel Core i5-10400, which only achieves 461 GigaFLOPS.
The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G has 2 memory channels with which it is able to operate up to 64 gigabytes of DDR4-3200 RAM. The Intel Core i5-10400 also has 2 memory channels, but it can be operated with up to 128 gigabytes of RAM of the same type. Both processors do not support ECC memory, i.e. memory with automatic error correction.
