Blender rendering score
Median score 39 (middle half of runs 38–43) across 8 community runs on Blender 4.x with the CPU backend. That is #263 of 290 desktop processors in our dataset with a score, and #14 of 18 in the Core i 4th gen.
This is a rendering benchmark (samples per minute over the monster, junkshop and classroom scenes), not a gaming benchmark. It says how fast the part renders in Blender's Cycles engine and nothing about frame rates. Source: Blender Open Data, CC0, snapshot 2026-09-06.
