Cinebench R11.5 is a 3D rendering performance test based on Cinema 4D from Maxon. Cinema 4D is a 3D rendering and animation tool suite used by animation houses and producers like Sony Animation and many others. It's very demanding of system processor resources and is an excellent gauge of pure computational throughput.

Cinebench R11.5 |
3D Rendering on The CPU and IGP |
|
This is a multi-threaded, multi-processor aware benchmark that renders a photorealistic 3D scene (from the viral "No Keyframes" animation by AixSponza). This scene makes use of various algorithms to stress all available processor cores. The rate at which each test system was able to render the entire scene is represented in the graph below.
Cinebench highlights AMD's design philosophy perfectly. As you can see, the Trinity A10 APU offers excellent performance in Cinebench's GPU-dependant OpenGL test, surpassing any other integrated solution by a wide margin. Cinebench's CPU test, however, paints a totally different picture. Even Intel's much older Arrandale-based Core i5 is able to outpace the Trinity A10 APU here.

LAME MT Audio Media Encoding |
Multithreaded Audio Transcode |
|
In our custom LAME MT MP3 encoding test, we convert a large WAV file to the MP3 format, which is a popular scenario that many end users work with on a day-to-day basis to provide portability and storage of their digital audio content. LAME is an open-source mid to high bit-rate and VBR (variable bit rate) MP3 audio encoder that is used widely around the world in a multitude of third party applications. In this test, we created our own 223MB WAV file and convert it to the MP3 format using the multi-thread capable LAME MT application in single and multi-thread modes. Processing times are recorded below, listed in seconds. Shorter times equate to better performance.
The new AMD A10-4600M takes a pounding in our LAME MT benchmark. In both the single and multi-threaded tests, the AMD A10-4600M gets beat by every reference system, including an aging Core 2 Duo based machine.
