CINEBENCH R11.5 64 Bit is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON’s award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more.

CINEBENCH is the perfect tool to compare CPU and graphics performance across various systems and platforms (Windows and Mac OS X). And best of all: It’s completely free.

The Intel Core i7 3960X EE puts in a good showing at 4.8ghz, scoring just over 14 points. Two Xeon R5 2687W's however score 25,41 points, miles ahead of the rest of the pack. If you make your living by rendering 3D scenes and are working to a tight time scale, this is the system you need to buy.
