Cinebench R11.5

CINEBENCH is a real-world cross platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON’s award-winning animation software CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. MAXON software has been used in blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, Star Wars, The Chronicles of Narnia and many more. CINEBENCH is the perfect tool to compare CPU and graphics performance across various systems and platforms (Windows and Mac OS X). And best of all: It’s completely free.

Starting things off with Cinebench, we find the Sapphire A85XT at the bottom of our pile when looking at other A85X based boards, though the overclock to 4.4GHz did help to push the CPU score a bit higher from 3.21 to 3.71.

Super PI

Super PI is a computer program that calculates pi to a specified number of digits after the decimal point—up to a maximum of 32 million. It uses Gauss–Legendre algorithm and is a Windows port of the program used by Yasumasa Kanada in 1995 to compute pi to 232 digits.

Moving over to Super Pi we can see the Sapphire board beating all of the competition at stock speeds with a calculation time of 24 minutes and 34 seconds.

When the CPU was ramped up to 4.4GHz, the boost in performance allowed the calculation time to be shaved to 21 minutes and 37 seconds, almost a whole 3 minutes.
