Cinebench R11.5, 64bit (Single-Core)
Cinebench 11.5 is based on the Cinema 4D Suite, a software that is popular to generate forms and other stuff in 3D. The single-core test only uses one CPU core, the amount of cores or hyperthreading ability doesn't count. | Intel Core i7-4790K 4x 4.00 GHz (4.40 GHz) HT |  | |
| Intel Core i7-6700K 4x 4.00 GHz (4.20 GHz) HT | | |
Cinebench R11.5, 64bit (Multi-Core)
Cinebench 11.5 is based on the Cinema 4D Suite, a software that is popular to generate forms and other stuff in 3D. The multi-core test involves all CPU cores and taks a big advantage of hyperthreading. | Intel Core i7-4790K 4x 4.00 GHz (4.40 GHz) HT | | |
| Intel Core i7-6700K 4x 4.00 GHz (4.20 GHz) HT | | |
Cinebench R11.5, 64bit (iGPU)
Cinebench 11.5 is based on the Cinema 4D Suite, a software that is popular to generate forms and other stuff in 3D. The iGPU test uses the CPU internal graphic unit to execute OpenGL commands. | Intel Core i7-4790K 4x 4.00 GHz (4.40 GHz) HT | | |
| Intel Core i7-6700K 4x 4.00 GHz (4.20 GHz) HT | | |
Cinebench R15 (Single-Core)
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. | Intel Core i7-4790K 4x 4.00 GHz (4.40 GHz) HT | | |

Passmark CPU Mark
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. | Intel Core i7-4790K 4x 4.00 GHz (4.40 GHz) HT | | |
