Page 9 - Benchmark: SuperPI 1M, Cinebench R23
About SuperPI
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 2^32 digits.

We have always included SuperPi in our benchmark results, because it is a quick and dirty run that always proves to be interesting. It is neither the fastest way to calculate Pi nor is it the most challenging. Being an enthusiast at heart, this program has always provided interesting results for showing off your overclocking prowess on your favorite online platform. Looking at the results, the Patriot Viper Elite II DDR4-4000 2x8GB once again scored in the middle of the pack. It is reasonable to conclude the difference here was negligible with the fastest and slowest results only being 0.09 seconds apart.
About Cinebench R23
Cinebench is a real-world cross-platform test suite that evaluates your computer's hardware capabilities. Improvements to Cinebench Release 23 reflect the overall advancements to CPU and rendering technology in recent years, providing a more accurate measurement of Cinema 4D's ability to take advantage of multiple CPU cores and modern processor features available to the average user. Best of all: It's free.
From: Developer's Page
Cinebench R23 is Maxon's latest benchmark to measure CPU rendering performance. R23 was recently released to the public, so naturally, we decided to update our tests. Unlike Cinebench R20, Cinebench R23 has a single-core and multi-core processor test. As its names suggest, this test depends heavily on the CPU, but it does not necessarily mean memory kits will not contribute anything. Looking at the results, we can see that all the memory kits scored around the same margin. The Patriot Viper Elite II DDR4-4000 2x8GB scored last with the single-core processor benchmark, but also came in first with the multi-core processor test.
