NEW CINEBENCH VERSION 9.5 ALSO AVAILABLE AS 64-BIT AND UNIVERSAL BINARY
MAXON Computer is proud to announce the release of an updated version of its world-renowned benchmarking tool, CINEBENCH Version 9.5.
MAXON, February 16, 2006 - Now the performance of Windows 64-bit systems as well as the new Intel-based Macintosh computers can be measured. CINEBENCH 9.5 is also an ideal platform for comparing performance between computers.
CINEBENCH 9.5 is itself based on MAXON's leading animation software, CINEMA 4D. Consequently, the results of tests conducted using CINEBENCH 9.5 carry significant weight when analyzing a computer's performance in everyday use. Especially a system's CPU and the OpenGL capabilities of its graphics card are put through their paces (even multiprocessor systems with up to 16 dedicated CPUs or processor cores). During the testing procedure, all relevant data is ascertained with which the performance of different computers can subsequently be compared, regardless of operating system.
CINEBENCH 9.5 is available for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems and as a "Universal Binary" version for Apple Macintosh computers with PowerPC or Intel Core Duo processors. The database functionality and simple export allow for easy statistical data collection. CINEBENCH is used extensively by leading trade journals and hardware manufacturers such as Intel, AMD and Apple to compare computer performance.
CINEBENCH Version 9.5 is available now for free download at http://www.cinebench.com.
