About: Cinebench - R11.5Cinebench R11.5 is one of MAXON's popular benchmarks designed to measure CPU performance in complex 3D rendering scenarios. The benchmark is based on the CINEMA 4D rendering engine and is widely used by tech enthusiasts, hardware reviewers, and professionals in the creative industry. Cinebench R11.5 simulates the rendering process of AixSponza's “No Keyframes” animation scene, which consists of thousands of 3D objects and various advanced lighting techniques and visual effects.
One of the key strengths of Cinebench R11.5 is its ability to use up to 64 processor threads in parallel, making it perfect for measuring the overall performance of multi-core CPUs. The test makes use of advanced algorithms such as sharp and blurry reflections, area lighting, realistic shadows, procedural shaders, and anti-aliasing, which represent real workloads in the 3D animation and visualization industry.
The scenes rendered in this benchmark include around 2,000 objects and over 300,000 polygons, making it very demanding for the test system. Test results are given in points (pts), where higher numbers indicate faster and more efficient CPU performance in completing rendering tasks. As such, Cinebench R11.5 is a very useful reference for assessing processor performance in creative and technical applications.
Despite the arrival of newer versions such as R15 and R23, Cinebench R11.5 is still relevant for users who want to make comparisons across processor generations. Many overclockers and users of legacy systems still rely on this version for stability and performance benchmarks due to its realistic yet not too heavy workloads for modern CPUs. With its ability to simulate real-world workflows, Cinebench R11.5 is a great test tool for anyone looking to evaluate their CPU performance in the context of professional rendering.
The Intel Core i3-2330M is a dual-core mobile processor launched in 2011 as part of Intel’s second-generation Sandy Bridge lineup. Designed for mid-range laptops, this processor features 2 cores and 4 threads thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, allowing it to handle light to moderate multitasking workloads efficiently. Operating at a fixed clock speed of 2.2 GHz and built on the 32nm process, the i3-2330M does not include Intel Turbo Boost, which limits its ability to dynamically increase performance under heavier loads, but it remains a solid choice for everyday use.
With a TDP of 35W, the i3-2330M balances power consumption and performance reasonably well for its era. It integrates Intel HD Graphics 3000, a GPU with a base clock of 650 MHz and a dynamic frequency up to 1.1 GHz. While not designed for modern gaming or demanding graphic applications, this integrated GPU handles HD video playback, basic 3D rendering, and older or lightweight games at low settings with relative ease. Users looking for casual computing and multimedia playback will find it sufficient.
In real-world usage, the Core i3-2330M performs well for standard computing tasks such as web browsing, streaming, office productivity (e.g., Word, Excel), and simple photo editing. Its Hyper-Threading capabilities give it a performance edge over older dual-core processors that lack thread duplication. However, the lack of Turbo Boost and a relatively low base frequency mean that it can struggle under CPU-intensive workloads like video rendering or large spreadsheet processing, especially when compared to more modern CPUs.
This specific configuration was tested on a SAMSUNG 300E4Z, a laptop originally shipped with an Intel Celeron B815 processor but later upgraded to the i3-2330M for better performance. With 4GB of DDR3 dual-channel memory and Windows 7 installed, the system runs smoothly for basic daily use, making the i3-2330M a practical upgrade option for budget-conscious users seeking improved performance without replacing their entire system.
