Blender rendering score

Median score 47 (middle half of runs 44–52) across 18 community runs on Blender 4.x with the CPU backend. That is #244 of 290 desktop processors in our dataset with a score, and #8 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.
