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.

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.
Cinebench R15 is the successor of Cinebench 11.5 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.

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.
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.
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.

The base clock of the cores is 3.70 gigahertz and the maximum turbo clock is 4.60 gigahertz. The processor supports hyperthreading, which means it has up to 12 computing threads available and it has a free multiplier, so it can be overclocked. The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X is manufactured using the smaller 5-nanometer process and is also equipped with 6 processor cores. The base clock of the cores is 4.70 gigahertz and the maximum turbo clock is 5.30 gigahertz. It also supports hyperthreading and can also be overclocked.
An internal graphics unit is only integrated in the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X. The AMD Radeon Graphics of the Raphael architecture is used here. This iGPU is equipped with 2 execution units and 128 shaders. The maximum clock speed of the graphics unit is 2.20 gigahertz and it can use a maximum of 8 gigabytes of memory built into the system.
Both processors have 2 memory channels and can be operated with up to 128 gigabytes of RAM. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X supports DDR4 type memory and the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X already supports the newer DDR5 type. RAM with automatic error correction can be used with both processors.
