Usually, when we get PCs here in the office for review, one of the first things we do is perform benchmark tests to aid us in our review. But that is not the onyl thing that benchmark tests are useful for. Enthusiasts and even casual users want to know how good or bad their recently purchased computer is in terms of performance and performing a benchmark test is an excellent indicator. There are many tools out there, that help you perform a benchmark test, but one of the newer alternatives that we have come to appreciate is Cinebench.
Cinebench R23 is one of the easiest applications for novices to use. This application renders a 3D picture using your CPU and analyses how successfully it does so. It’s completely free and only takes ten minutes to complete.
This is how you do it.
Downloading Cinebench
If you’re using a Mac, open the App Store and search for Cinebench. If you’re using Windows, it’s available through the Microsoft Store. Additionally, users of any platform can download it straight from Maxon’s website.
