V-Ray: Intel X-series Refresh CPU Rendering Performance

Posted on November 13, 2018 by William George

Intel just updated their X-series processor line, with new models using 9XXX numbering to match the recent 9th Gen Core Series launch a few weeks ago. The main improvements are small clock speed increases along with fixes for some of the CPU exploits discovered in recent years. In this article, we will look at how these new chips compare to existing Intel and AMD processors when rendering in V-Ray.

Cinema 4D: Intel Core i7 9700K & i9 9900K Performance

Posted on October 19, 2018 by William George

Intel just released their 9th Gen Core Series processors, which have both higher clock speed and more cores than the previous mainstream generation. Cinema 4D uses a blend of CPU factors: clock speed is important for modeling, animation, and physics simulation – but core count is king when it comes to rendering. Let’s see how these new chips compare to other options from both Intel and AMD.

V-Ray CPU Rendering: Intel Core i7 9700K & i9 9900K Performance

Posted on October 19, 2018 by William George

Intel’s mainstream processors are not built specifically for CPU based rendering, and both Intel and AMD offer models with far more cores which will perform better in this application, but it is still worth testing each generation of these chips because they are ideal for 3D design, motion graphics, and animation – which are often used in workflows alongside rendering.

Cinema 4D: AMD Threadripper 2990WX Performance

Posted on August 13, 2018 by William George

AMD just updated their high-performance Threadripper processor series, and the new top-end model – the 2990WX – has given the highest Cinebench multi-core score we’ve seen from a single CPU. This article will look at how it stacks up to the older Threadripper 1950X and a selection of Intel chips… and just as importantly, how it performs in single-core mode.

V-Ray CPU Rendering: AMD Threadripper 2990WX Takes the Single CPU Performance Crown

Posted on August 13, 2018 by William George

AMD just updated their high-performance Threadripper processor series, and the new top-end model – the 2990WX – is the fastest single CPU we’ve ever tested in V-Ray. This article will look at how it stacks up to other AMD and Intel chips, as well as Intel’s dual Xeon configurations.

V-Ray CPU Comparison: Xeon Scalable vs Core i7 8700K, Core X, and Threadripper

Posted on May 18, 2018 by William George

Intel has launched their new Xeon Scalable processor series, with very high core counts and multi-CPU configurations. How do they stack up to single-socket workstations using other Intel and AMD processors when rendering in V-Ray?

V-Ray CPU Rendering: Apple iMac Pro and Mac Pro vs PC Workstations

Posted on May 17, 2018 by William George

“Mac or PC?” – the age-old question among computer enthusiasts. How fast are Apple and PC workstations when rendering in V-Ray? And which offers a better value?

Cinema 4D: Apple iMac Pro and Mac Pro vs PC Workstations

“Mac or PC?” – the age-old question among computer enthusiasts. How do Apple and PC workstations compare for content creation and rendering in Cinema 4D?

Cinema 4D CPU Comparison: Xeon Scalable vs Core i7 8700K, Core X, and Threadripper

Posted on May 16, 2018 by William George

Intel has launched their new Xeon Scalable processor series, with very high core counts when used in dual CPU configurations. How do they stack up to single-socket workstations using other Intel and AMD processors in Cinema 4D?

SOLIDWORKS 2018 CPU Comparison: Coffee Lake vs Skylake-X vs Threadripper

Posted on February 4, 2018 by William George

Dassault Systemes launched the initial version of SOLIDWORKS 2018 (SP0.1) late last year, but with the recent release of SP1 we expect that customers will soon be using it in production environments. In preparation for that, we have tested the field of current Intel Core i7 and i9 processors to see how they stack up in SW 2018. We hadn’t yet had a chance to test AMD’s Threadripper processors in SOLIDWORKS either, so they are also included in this round of benchmarks.
