32-Bit CPU Rendering Benchmarks: Cinebench R10, Bibble 5
CINEBENCH is a real-world test suite that assesses your
computer's performance capabilities. CINEBENCH runs several tests on your
computer to measure the performance of the main processor under real world
circumstances. The benchmark application makes use of up to 16 CPUs or CPU cores
to render a photo-reaslistic image. The scene makes use of various CPU-intensive
features such as reflection, ambient occlusion, area lights and procedural
shaders. In the first run, the benchmark only uses one CPU (or CPU core), to
ascertain a reference value. On computers that have multiple CPUs or CPU cores
and on those who simulate multiple CPUs (via HyperThreading or similar
technologies), MAXON CINEBENCH will run a second test using all available CPU
power. Higher results are best. Cinebench is multi-threaded.

Cinebench is a 3D renderer optimized for high-end
multi-core CPUs, it's pretty much a natural fit for the Core i7 920 processor.
The Athlon II X2 240e is a $80 low-wattage budget CPU, and not at all suited for
this kind of test.

While the score for the Athlon II X2 240e gets a little
better when running in Windows 7, it's nowwhere near enough for this processor
to get out of last place.
Bibble 5
is a multi-threaded photographic workflow application that can be used to
demonstrate the ability to scale work load across 4, 8, 16 or more processor
cores. The basic process we will use for benchmarking is to convert a batch of
50 RAW image files from a digital SLR camera from their original RAW format to
JPEG's at full resolution, using the applications default image
settings.
Lower
results are best.

In the 50 photos test the Athlon II X2 240e keeps up
with the Athlon II X2 250, but that's about all it can manage in this
mutli-threaded test.

Windows 7 and Windows Vista scores are again within less
than 2% of a difference here, most benchmarks don't show huge differences
between OS changes.
