Versions:
Cinebench R23, published by Maxon, is a cross-platform benchmarking utility designed to measure and compare the CPU and graphics performance of Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. The current release, version 23.200, focuses on realistic rendering workloads by leveraging the same powerful 3D engine found in Maxon’s professional Cinema 4D application, allowing reviewers, system builders, overclockers, and everyday users to quantify single- and multi-core processor speeds as well as OpenGL capabilities. Typical use cases include evaluating hardware before purchase, validating stability after overclocking, stress-testing cooling solutions, and generating repeatable scores that can be shared in hardware forums or product reviews. Because the test scene is rendered entirely on the host processor, the resulting figures isolate raw CPU throughput, while a separate GPU-focused module provides complementary graphics metrics. The software belongs to the system-analysis and benchmarking category, sits at only a few hundred megabytes, and requires no installation, making it convenient for quick comparisons across multiple machines. Although Cinebench R23 is the only version currently maintained, Maxon has updated the benchmark periodically since its debut to keep pace with new instruction sets and increasing core counts, ensuring that scores remain relevant for modern chip architectures. Users can download Cinebench R23 free of charge from get.nero.com, where the package is delivered through trusted Windows sources such as winget, always supplying the latest build and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
