Corona Benchmark

What Corona Benchmark is

Corona Benchmark measures a computer’s CPU rendering speed by rendering a scene with the Corona 10 rendering core. A run starts when launched and ends after exactly one minute; no additional software is required. Results are reported in rays per second, with higher values indicating better performance, and include the processor, operating frequency, physical and logical core counts, and installed RAM. Users can compare results with other scores, optionally submit their own, and save completed results locally to compare after system changes. The benchmark is available as separate downloads for Windows and macOS. Its listed workload areas include CPU rendering performance, system comparison, and hardware stress testing. The product page says users can assess hardware before buying and use the command console to stress test cooling. It supports path tracing, animation rendering, denoising, and CLI or automation, but not GPU or cloud rendering. A comparison database is available, and Chaos documentation is linked for usage guidance. The benchmark is free, with a listed price of no cost.
