The Cinebench results demonstrate graphically what the extra cores can do, by enabling the picture to be rendered with 4 threads instead of 2. We measured an overall 54% increase in speed whilst rendering, and as expected the lower core speed limited the EE 840 under a single CPU load.

What is CineBench
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.
