Maybe in the next CB, they decide to include a heterogeneous test using all available CPU/GPU cores. The decision to use a highly parallel algo to maximize GPU parallelism has the unfortunate side effect of making all existing CPU cores look really wimpy.

Wouldn't it basically just be adding the two scores together? GPUs are just better at the workload so even lumping in the CPU cores wouldn't move the needle much unless you've got a 128 core server chip paired with a 1030 or something like that.

I guess it would be good for thermals testing or seeing how an APU performs under near 100% load on both the CPU and GPU.
 
Yeah they definitely punch above their weight class in CPU. But the dedicated video encoder hardware is really impressive.

The last Intel Mac I had could render video reasonably well and could spit out decent quality encodings at a littler under one minute per minute of video. You could tell it was hard at work because it didn't take even a minute for the fans to be going full throttle.

The MBP I have now will do even better quality in a few minutes and you the lack of fans still makes me think it hasn't actually started the encoding yet by the time it's already done.

I remember using some of the old POWER Macs where you'd just set it to render/encode overnight because it would take that long, but even that was considered fast for 1080p video.

Isn't Cinebench a benchmark for the capabilities of a PC for running Maxon software instead of a generalistic benchmark despite how they sell it?
 
Seems nobody's bothered to bench an AMD GPU so I'll add the pathetic score of my RX 5700: (3246)

I was also surprised by how it didn't spin up the fans at all. It seemed to be under full load though according to GPU-z.
 
Have you seen any report or documentation of what kind of FP precision Cinebench 2024 is using for rendering ?

Is it FP32 or FP64 ?

Judging by the GPU results it should be using FP32 for GPUs, but is there any chance that is using FP64 for CPUs ?

It should be the same FP precision across all devices and platforms (SSEx, AVX2, Mac, Arm, GPUs etc)
 
I miss the way R23 would show during the render a box indicating the progress of each thread. For my 13600K it shows two rendering boxes? What is the methodology behind the number of rendering boxes in R24?
 
I feel dumb, but I have to ask. How do I get this to run? I downloaded, unzipped, and double clicked on Cinebench.exe, to no avail. What am I missing? This is on the 5900x rig in my sig.
