About: Cinebench - R23 Multi Core with BenchMate

Cinebench R23 Multi Core with BenchMate is a benchmark version that combines the reliability of Cinebench R23 testing with the accuracy and security of BenchMate results. Cinebench R23 itself is Maxon's official benchmark designed to measure processor performance in completing complex multi-threaded rendering tasks. When combined with BenchMate, the benchmarking process becomes more transparent and tamper-proof, making it ideal for professional and competitive testing.

In this multi-core test, all cores and threads of the CPU are utilized to their fullest extent to render a photorealistic 3D scene. This workload resembles real-world usage scenarios such as animation rendering, visual effects creation, and scientific simulations, which indeed require high-performance computing. Benchmark results are displayed in points (pts), where higher numbers indicate better multi-threaded performance.

BenchMate itself is a companion tool that ensures the integrity of benchmark results. By ensuring no system modifications that compromise testing accuracy—such as extreme overclocking without verification, system time manipulation, or background software that skews results—BenchMate provides confidence that the scores obtained truly reflect the real-world performance of the tested CPU. This makes the Cinebench R23 + BenchMate benchmark highly valued within the overclocking and professional hardware testing communities.

Overall, Cinebench R23 Multi Core with BenchMate is a reliable benchmarking solution for evaluating the computational power of modern processors, especially in heavy-workload scenarios. The combination of intensive workloads and score validation makes it the gold standard in current CPU performance testing.

About Intel Core i7 720QM

The Intel Core i7-720QM, launched in Q3 2009, was one of the first mobile quad-core processors to feature Intel's Nehalem microarchitecture, specifically the Clarksfield variant. Targeted at high-performance laptops, such as gaming machines and mobile workstations, the i7-720QM brought 4 physical cores and 8 threads to the mobile platform, thanks to Hyper-Threading Technology providing a significant boost in multi-threaded workloads like video editing, 3D rendering, and other professional-grade applications. The processor runs at a base clock speed of 1.6 GHz, but it can dynamically increase up to 2.8 GHz using Intel Turbo Boost, depending on thermal headroom and power availability.

Manufactured using a 45nm process, the i7-720QM has a TDP of 45W, which is quite high by today's mobile CPU standards. This thermal demand necessitated more robust cooling solutions in laptops that featured the chip. Unlike modern CPUs, the i7-720QM does not come with integrated graphics, which means systems based on this processor require a dedicated GPU often from AMD or NVIDIA for graphics processing and display output. As such, it was typically paired with mid-to-high-end discrete graphics cards in its time, making it a solid choice for gaming and multimedia laptops in the late 2000s and early 2010s.

While the Core i7-720QM was a powerhouse during its release, its performance and efficiency are significantly outpaced by modern CPUs built on smaller nodes and with higher IPC (Instructions Per Clock). Nevertheless, legacy laptops using the i7-720QM can still be viable for basic computing tasks like web browsing, document editing, or watching videos especially if paired with an SSD upgrade and increased RAM. Users running Windows 10 on such systems may experience some limitations, but with proper optimization and lightweight software, the CPU can still deliver a usable experience in non-demanding environments.
