Blender Open Data

Official median of community submissions; higher is better. Blender versions, operating systems and compute backends remain separate.

Blender 5.2.0 / CPU / Windows: 141.794984 samples/min submissions: 7; snapshot: 2026-10-01

Snapshot date is the retrieval date, not the measurement date. Individual dates, RAM, drivers and power limits are unknown. This aggregates different user systems; it is not a test of a specific partner board and is excluded from the legacy composite index.

Benchmarks

Performance tests CPU
