About: Cinebench - R15After about three and a half years Maxon releases a new freeware version of Cinebench in the market. The new version of the benchmarks for processors and graphics cards is based on the Cinebench 15 and coming from the same home 3D graphics software Cinema 4D R15 in the output.
Apart from it, the rendering software R11.5 to R15 and new footage, the new version now supports systems with up to 256 threads. The performance of processors and graphics cards is as usual determined on the basis of 3D scenes. A selection of test results allows a rough classification of the benefit of your own system. For the CPU test is a scene with around 280,000 polygons used, while the GPU test based on OpenGL comes with about a million polygons, high-resolution textures and various effects. The results will be issued in final points (CPU) and fps (GPU). According to the developers, the software has been "extensively developed to exploit the performance of new hardware as possible." The results are unsurprisingly not comparable with those from earlier versions. The test procedure consists of two main components - the graphics card performance test and the CPU performance test.
The test scenario uses all of your system's processing power to render a photorealistic 3D scene (from the viral "No Keyframes" animation by AixSponza). This scene makes use of various algorithms to stress all available processor cores.
In fact, CINEBENCH can measure systems with up to 256 processor threads. This test scene contains approximately 2,000 objects which in turn contain more than 300,000 polygons in total, and uses sharp and blurred reflections, area lights, shadows, procedural shaders, antialiasing, and much more. The result is displayed in points (pts). The higher the number, the faster your processor.
This procedure uses a complex 3D scene depicting a car chase (created by renderbaron) which measures the performance of your graphics card in OpenGL mode. The performance depends on various factors, such as the GPU processor on your hardware, on the drivers used. The graphics card has to display a huge amount of geometry (nearly 1 million polygons) and textures, as well as a variety of effects, such as environments, bump maps, transparency, lighting and more to evaluate the performance across different disciplines and give a good average overview of the capabilities of your graphics hardware. The result is measured in frames per second (fps). The higher the number, the faster your graphics card is.
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.
