Frosty Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Well, the boys at Maxon have been updating Cinebench to run on the G5 (no word on Athlon 64). Previoulsy, the G5 scored around 400CBs. In beta form, the optimized version is hitting 515CBs. The current spead king is a Dual 3Ghz Xeon at 650ish. I dont trust this number tho... seems a tad high to me. http://www.imashination.com/bench.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 here's some previous results - http://www.cgarchitect.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=12;t=000018 those strange CB's they give mean absolutely **** all to me, why cant they time it in mins and seconds, like some of us did in this thread?

ingo Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 What a crap, they update Cinebench. How about updating C4D instead, Maxon, to make it faster ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwright Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I tested on one of our dual xeons 3.06, and I got 643. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 16, 2003 Author Share Posted October 16, 2003 The update is coming ingo. WOrd is that they dont have the optimizing tools from Apple yet. I'm not too sure how they did cinebench with out it - its actually only one person that writes CB. Strat: I understand your point - an abstract number seems a bit confusing. I think of the CB rating more as a unit of measurement. No matter what the scene is that they throw through Cinebench, the rating should remain constant. David: Thanks for the clarification. I was expecting a Dual 3Ghz to hit around 620-630. Did you have HT enabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwright Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 HT is "ON", if I uninstall MS Office, I think I can get 650 cheers, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there is still some work to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 whats altivec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted October 17, 2003 Author Share Posted October 17, 2003 Ingo, the Atli-Vec unit couldn't be used in the Maxon rendering engine. Not really a Maxon issue, the old version of alti-vec simply wasn't precise enough to be used in Cinema. I'm not sure if the G5 is in the same situation. As far as I know the G5 has a different, more precise Alti-Vec unit. If thats the case, it may be possible to use it in rendering and the G5 would a giant boost.
