Corona CPU Benchmark Released

Corona CPU Benchmark Released

 

We have discovered a new CPU benchmark based on the Corona 1.3 CPU renderer, providing PC enthusiasts with a potential new tool for judging your CPUs performance.  

The tool itself is very easy to use, simply save, extract, and run the downloadable file from their site and you can get started.

The benchmark itself starts automatically once you run it and it will render it’s standard testing scene automatically give us results at the end that we can then use to compare performance between CPUs.

Looking at the user submitted scores on the Corona Renderer website the benchmark has been used in workstation grade systems with up to 72 CPU threads, meaning that this benchmark is made with heavy hyper threading in mind, making it suitable for testing CPUs with both small and large CPU core counts.

The benchmark is currently available to download on the Corona Renderer website and is 188MB in size. 

Right now I know what a lot of readers will be wondering, will this benchmark be used in future CPU reviews? Well, the answer is not as simple as a yes or a no, as at this time we will still need to conduct feasibility testing in order to see if this benchmark is fair and useful for detailed performance comparisons, but we will be looking into it. 

You can help us out by sending us your own results for this benchmark on the OC3D Forum alongside your own system specifications.
