Blender rendering score
Median score 16 (middle half of runs 15–17) across 7 community runs on Blender 4.x with the CPU backend. That is #290 of 290 desktop processors in our dataset with a score, and #6 of 6 in the Core i 1st 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.
