Launch price in today's dollars

The Core i5 4460 launched at $182 in 2014. Adjusted with the U.S. Consumer Price Index, that is about $254 in 2026 dollars (7-month average), a 40% rise over 12 years. At its launch price that is 22 Blender points per $100.

Method: launch price × (CPI 2026 average ÷ CPI 2014 average), calendar-year averages of BLS series CPIAUCSL. 2026 covers 7 months so far.

Blender rendering score

Median score 40 (middle half of runs 36–48) across 42 community runs on Blender 4.x with the CPU backend. That is #260 of 290 desktop processors in our dataset with a score, and #13 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.
