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 / Linux: 142.769234 samples/min submissions: 15; snapshot: 2026-09-30 Official source
Blender 5.2.0 / CPU / Windows: 130.502397 samples/min submissions: 17; snapshot: 2026-09-30 Official source

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.
