CPU Benchmark Performance: Simulation And Rendering

Simulation and Science have a lot of overlap in the benchmarking world, however for this distinction we’re separating into two segments mostly based on the utility of the resulting data. The benchmarks that fall under Science have a distinct use for the data they output – in our Simulation section, these act more like synthetics but at some level are still trying to simulate a given environment.

We are using DDR5 memory at the following settings:

  • DDR5-4800(B) CL40

Simulation

(3-1) DigiCortex 1.35 (32k Neuron, 1.8B Synapse)

(3-2a) Dwarf Fortress 0.44.12 World Gen 65x65, 250 Yr

(3-2b) Dwarf Fortress 0.44.12 World Gen 129x129, 550 Yr

(3-2c) Dwarf Fortress 0.44.12 World Gen 257x257, 550 Yr

(3-3) Dolphin 5.0 Render Test

(3-4a) Factorio v1.1.26 Test, 10K Trains

(3-4b) Factorio v1.1.26 Test, 10K Belts

(3-4c) Factorio v1.1.26 Test, 20K Hybrid

When it comes to simulation, the combination of high core frequency and better IPC performance gives Intel's 12th Gen Core series the advantage here in most situations.

Rendering

(4-1) Blender 2.83 Custom Render Test

(4-2) Corona 1.3 Benchmark

(4-3a) Crysis CPU Render at 320x200 Low

(4-3b) Crysis CPU Render at 1080p Low

(4-3c) Crysis CPU Render at 1080p Medium

(4-4) POV-Ray 3.7.1

(4-5) V-Ray Renderer

(4-6a) CineBench R20 Single Thread

(4-6b) CineBench R20 Multi-Thread

(4-7a) CineBench R23 Single Thread

(4-7b) CineBench R23 Multi-Thread

Looking at performance in the rendering section of our test suite, both the Core i7 and Core i5 performed creditably. The biggest factor to consider here is a higher core and thread count plus IPC performance will equal more rendering power.
