Ray-tracing is a rendering technique that calculates an
image of a scene by simulating the way rays of light travel in the real world.
In the real world, rays of light are emitted from a light source and illuminate
objects. The light reflects off of the objects or passes through transparent
objects. This reflected light hits our eyes or perhaps a camera lens. Because
the vast majority of rays never hit an observer, it would take forever to trace
a scene. Ray-tracing programs like POV-Ray start with their simulated camera and
trace rays backwards out into the scene. The user specifies the location of the
camera, light sources, and objects as well as the surface texture properties of
objects, their interiors (if transparent) and any atmospheric media such as fog,
haze, or fire.
Lower render times are better, however higher Pixel Per
Second rendering values are best. Pov-ray is multi-threaded.

The quad-core AMD Athlon II X4 645 CPU does generally
well for itself in POV-Ray with a render time of 102.71 seconds and average
render rate of 2552 pixels per second - close to what an Intel Core i7 system
would output in this test. The six-core Phenom II X6 processors top the chart
with the best restults in this multi-threaded benchmark. POV-ray has always
favored AMD processors.
