MAXON CINEBENCH 2003 - the Cinema4D R8 Speedtest. Longer bars are better, The score is a combined total of the 3 or 4 tests performed (4 tests on dual processor machines, 3 on single processors) CINEBENCH 2003 is the free benchmarking tool for Windows and Mac OS based on the powerful 3D software CINEMA 4D R8. The tool is set to deliver accurate benchmarks by testing not only a computer's raw processing speed but also all other areas that affect system performance such as OpenGL, multithreading, multiprocessors and Intel's new HT Technology. CINEBENCH 2003 includes render tasks that test the performance of up to 16 multiprocessors on the same computer as well as software-only shading tests and OpenGL shading tests on huge numbers of animated polygons that will push any computer to its limits. The G5 systems were tested with the beta optimized version of CineBench 2003, the G4 systems used the standard version.
