Because of different displacement algorithms
and continuous improvements of the renderer, Maya 6 and its corresponding batch
renderer is absolutely required. The Test Scene is fairly processor-intensive
and can take anywhere from 2 to 20 minutes to render depending on your system
specifications. Rendering produces 1 frame (512x512pixels). Lower times are
better.

3D applications like Maya traditionally take
advantage of the extra bandwidth cutting edge system provide, although it
doesn't seem to help the Intel Pentium D 940 processor by much. Maya definitely
sees a benefit in render times when the computer is running a dual core
processor. The Pentium D 940 completes the render test 22 seconds, but virtually
all the reference AMD Athlon64 processors outperform it.
SuperPI
calculates the number PI to 1 Million digits in this raw number crunching
benchmark. The benchmark is fairly diverse and allows the user to change the
number of digits of PI that can be calculated from 16 Thousand to 32 Million.
The benchmark, which uses 19 iterations in the test, is set 1 Million digits.
Lower
numbers denote faster calculation times (seconds), and hence, better
performance.

Super Pi does not take advantage of L2 cache, and this is
why the Intel Pentium D 940 processor performs on par with the Pentium D 840
model. The AMD Athlon64 FX-62 posts the best results of any chip tested thus far
by
PCSTATS.
