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: 529.772196 samples/min submissions: 7; 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.

Benchmarks

Performance tests CPU

Compare the scores of popular benchmarks AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X with other processors to understand the real speed of the CPU when processing content.
