CINEBENCH 15 is a cross-platform testing suite that measures hardware performance and is the de facto standard benchmarking tool for leading companies and trade journals for conducting real-world hardware performance tests. With the new Release 15, systems with up to 256 threads can be tested. CINEBENCH is available for both Windows and OS X and is used by almost all hardware manufacturers and trade journals for comparing CPUs and graphics cards.
The same is true of Cinebench 15, with an overclocked 5820k pulling ahead in CPU performance, but again, the Core i7-6700k shows a good improvement over a Core i7-4770k of around 10 per cent.
