from Maxon\u2019s website<\/a> directly. <\/p>\nIf you\u2019re running Windows 10 or 11, your system needs to have an Intel or AMD 64-bit CPU with SSE3 support and at least 4GB of RAM in order to run Cinebench. If you\u2019re a Mac user, you need to be running macOS 10.13.16 or higher; you also need a 640bit CPU and at least 4GB of RAM.<\/p>\n
Note: you may find different versions of Cinebench floating around, but as of this date, Cinebench R23 is the most recent one and the best one to use. <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/source><\/picture>\n

Here\u2019s what it looks like as it runs the test.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\nHow to Run Cinebench<\/h2>\n Once you\u2019ve got the program downloaded, open it up. You\u2019ll see two Start <\/strong>buttons in the top left corner. Click the one next to CPU (Multi Core)<\/strong> to test your system\u2019s multi-core capabilities and CPU (Single Core)<\/strong> to test its single-core capabilities. Both of these tests will take around 10 minutes. <\/p>\nYou can also run the tests for as long as 30 minutes if you want to see whether your system can keep up its performance over a longer period of time. To set that up, go to File > Advanced Benchmark. <\/strong>A drop-down menu will pop up on the left side labeled Minimum Test Duration<\/strong>. From that menu, select 30 Minutes<\/strong>. Then start whichever test you want. <\/p>\nFor the most accurate score, make sure there are no other programs or background processes running while Cinebench is going and that your device is plugged in. Any settings your computer might have (power profiles, fan settings, etc.) should be maxed out.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/source><\/picture>\n

Here\u2019s what it looks like when you get your score. I had a bunch of stuff open while my MacBook ran this, so this isn\u2019t the most accurate score.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\nHow to See Your Cinebench Score<\/h2>\n Once your device has completed the test (this can take some time, so be patient), a score will pop up next to the start button you pressed earlier. In the bottom-left corner, Cinebench will show you how your processor stacks up against a list of similar chips. <\/p>\n
Remember, Cinebench is just one test and one datapoint. The fact that your computer receives a worse Cinebench score than another doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it\u2019s a worse or weaker computer. All kinds of factors influence the performance that you, the user, might see from a computer, and raw CPU power is just one of them. <\/p>\n
Still, Cinebench is one free and easy way to check how your PC is doing and see if there are any performance issues you might need to address. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
