How’s it going everybody this is Tech illiterate my name is Nic and today I want to look at
some benchmarking so there is a huge list of softwares that you can find to Benchmark
your CPU so there's like 3dmark, blender Benchmark, cinebench, geekbench, novabench, PassMark,
realbench, sisoftware Sandra, unigine suite, userbenchmark and those are just 10 of them
and there's plenty more.
I have chosen to go with one of the simplest and most widely used benchmarking software's.
Which is cinebench it renders an image to evaluate the CPUs real world performance and
once it's finished the test gives you a score which can be compared to the performance of
other chips or even your own chip after doing some overclocking.
The best part it's really simple it's like super easy to use and that's why I like it.
So first go ahead to Maxon.net/en/ and right here there's a drop-down for products and
you just want to go down to cinebinch... cinebinch?
Cinebench R20 and you have two options here from Microsoft Store don't do it Microsoft
store is hot garbage yes it is and the App Store if you're on Mac but I like to download
it directly from Maxon that's easiest for me so if you scroll down to cinebench R20
here click down there and you want to get the second one cinebench R20 for windows hit
the download and that's going to give you this download here so once it's finished downloading
you’re gonna have this zip file here you can just right-click it, extract all, you
have another program to unzip it that's fine to but you can just use the windows extractor.
Now once it's extracted you can just open up the cinebench R20 folder and you can delete
the zip file and you don't have to install it it's just already ready to go so you can
just lunch cinebench by double-clicking on the exe file and now it's open so all you
have to do is press run that's it we’ll go through more of the stuff now but I'm going
to go ahead and run the software and speed up the video so you can see what it looks
like.
All right and it's finished so it gave us a score right here 4648 and you can see right
above it is another AMD ryzen 7 3700 X and that's actually my test so it'll keep your
best test if you want to there's a little check box here up in file keep best score
now the reason why I got a lower score this time it's probably because I'm using OBS right
now and actually recording the screen and I might have been doing a little bit of mild
overclocking to get that score earlier today but anyways here's a list of some other CPUs
to compared yours to now these are a bit outdated but you can actually download files from other
users online and you can just put them into the file folder here CB ranking and that'll
input them into the application so you can see mine is better than the one listed here
ryzen 7 1700 x and below the ryzen threadripper at least in this list but it didn't perform
too badly I think that's pretty good so what really is useful with this is like I said
if you're doing overclocking you can absolutely use this as your benchmark and it's really
easy to use like I said just click run but it is the year 2020 and games unfortunately
still only use a single processor for the most part so if you go here to file there's
this box here Advanced Benchmark click that and it's going to give you an extra option
which is single-core you can hit run and it's going to give you a score again but it's only
going to be using one of your processor's within your CPU and it's going to take a lot
longer than the original one I don't want to do that right now but I'm going to here
we go as you can see this Benchmark here as opposed to the other one the single core one
it's only rendering one of those boxes at a time it's going to take a lot longer so
I might have to go do something and wait while this finishes okay and there is our score
we have 495 points for this single core test and as you can see in this list here it is
at the top of the list but that being said these are all outdated chips like this core
i7 7700k 7700 K excuse me what is that like 3-4 years old at this point so it's performed
well I mean it's it's doing good Ryzens not known for to be the absolute best for single-core
it's more about the multi core function with ryzen at least at this point we'll see what
happens next month but anyways that's basically cinabunch cinabunch...that's basically Cinebench
and if you want to use it it's free to use easy to download I'm going to give a little
bit more of a tour just to take won't take long cuz there's not very much look at so
the first option we have here under file is keep best score Advanced benchmark that’s
like I showed you just a moment to go to get you that CPU single-core run all selected
tests that'll run both the tests and preferences which they're only a couple here what you
can customize the number of threads you want use to render the image so I can do less than
16, 16 is obviously my maximum that's what my CPU has and you can make with a minimum
test duration is so you have a chip that's a really fast you can change that.
So coming down from here it has my system which tells you what my processor is how many
cores and threads it has the clock speed my operating system and what my GPU is down here
in the ranking you can decide on what details you want to be shown and that's going to show
up in one line so if I were to add like for example OS it's just going to extend that
information and up here you can choose your the CPUs that's the entire CPU like we had
that test before single core and the MP ratio that ratio is basically the higher the ratio
the bigger multi-core performance it has that's it so yeah that's it's free and easy-to-use
you can find it at Maxon.net I'll have it in the video description down there this has
been Tech illiterate hope you enjoyed it remember to, you know, like, subscribe, comment, do
all the stuff I really appreciate it guys thanks for watching my name is Nic cya later.
