Summary

Cinebench is a free benchmarking tool for Windows and macOS that runs workloads involving CPU rendering, GPU rendering, ray tracing, shader execution, and geometry processing. It also supports custom test profiles and command-line or other automation. These features make it useful for running rendering and graphics-related benchmark workloads with configurable profiles. Cinebench does not document result export formats, and its results are not saved as a file, so its output cannot be taken away as a saved results file based on the listed details. It has a free plan and is available on the two listed desktop operating systems. The supported workload areas span both CPU and GPU rendering as well as several graphics processing tasks, giving users a way to run more than one kind of workload through the same tool.
