Three-scene Blender rendering throughput. Versions, operating systems and rendering backends remain separate. This is not a gaming score.

Blender 4.5.0 / Windows / CPU

Intel Xeon CPU E5-2696 v3 230.66 samples/min 4 complete runs · Middle 50%: 222.21 - 237.19 · 18 core / 36 thread · Latest: 2026-01-30

Community submissions; cooling, power limits and system configuration can affect results.

Graphics & compute benchmarks

Archived cohort medians

GFXBench, GLBenchmark and CompuBench results retain the tested system, API, operating system and resolution. Offscreen tests fix the render resolution; onscreen results also reflect the display workload. These historical submissions do not establish performance in current games.
