Compare CPUs
Below you can compare the latest CPU-s across multiple benchmarks. Explore detailed graphs, performance scores, and rankings to quickly find the model that best suits your workflow and creative needs.
Verdict
The Core i7 6700K and the Xeon E5-1630 v3 are equally fast
Averaged over 3 rendering benchmarks, the Core i7 6700K leads in 1 of them. The biggest gap is in Cinebench 2024, where the Core i7 6700K scores 4% higher.
Scores marked with * are estimated from the other benchmarks we have for that device.

Methodology
Our data above is compiled from multiple sources:
-
Our own benchmarks: We conduct extensive testing with the GPU and CPU models we use on the farm. Over the past 10 years we have tested over 1,000 GPUs and 500 CPUs.
-
Model scores: Once we have two or more benchmarks for a device we can perform some machine learning computations to estimate a realistic score in any of the other benchmarks we list. These are always marked with an asterisk (*), and while usually accurate shouldn't be taken as the complete truth.
-
Public benchmark data: We may supplement our dataset with scores from public OctaneBench, V-Ray Benchmark and Blender Benchmark websites. We cannot test every device available ourselves, so this gives us a nice alternative to get You the results you are looking for.
