Benchmark description
Autodesk* Maya* 8.5 Mental Ray* render and SPECapc* for 3DS Max* 9.0—graphics and hardware shader.
Autodesk* Maya* 8.5 Mental Ray* render runs at background on number_ of_ processor minus one processor. It renders an ASCII scene without graphics in the background while SPECapc* for 3DS Max* 9.0—graphics and hardware shader runs on one logical processor in the foreground. Time (seconds) elapsed is reported when workloads are finished. Elapsed time is then converted to jobs/day as the final score.

SPECapc* for 3dsmax* 9 (CPU rendering)
-
Benchmark description
SPECapc* 3ds Max* 9 from Autodesk* is an application-based benchmarking tool used to measure overall workstation performance with two metrics: interactive—combining graphics subsystem plus I/O performance, and rendering—measuring the CPU performance. See www.spec.org for more information.

SPECapc* for Maya
-
Benchmark description
SPECapc* for Maya* 6.5 has four models—a werewolf, human hand, insect and squid—rendered and displayed in five different modes used in Maya 6.5: wireframe, Gouraud-shaded, texture, texture highlighted with a wireframe mesh, and texture selected (texture with wireframe mesh and control points). The benchmark is unique in its ability to test performance for large texture sizes and multiple viewports. Please see www.spec.org for more information on the workloads.

SPECviewperf* 10
-
Benchmark description
SPECviewperf* 10 measures the 3D rendering performance of systems running under OpenGL*. It measures performance for the following entities: 3D primitives, including points, lines, line_strip, line_loop, triangles, triangle_strip, triangle_fan, quads and polygons; attributes per vertex, per primitive and per frame; lighting; texture mapping; alpha blending; fogging; anti-aliasing; and depth buffering. For more information about the benchmark and its run rules refer www.spec.org.
Performance tests and ratings are measured using specific computer systems and/or components and reflect the approximate performance of Intel® products as measured by those tests. Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems or components they are considering purchasing. For more information on performance tests and on the performance of Intel® products, visit www.intel.com/performance/resources/benchmark_limitations.htm or call (U.S.) 1-800-628-8686 or 1-916-356-3104. Relative performance is calculated by assigning a baseline value of 1.0 to one benchmark result, and then dividing the actual benchmark result for the baseline platform into each of the specific benchmark results of each of the other platforms, and assigning them a relative performance number that correlates with the performance improvements reported.
Relative performance for each benchmark is calculated by taking the actual benchmark result for the first platform tested and assigning it a value of 1.0 as a baseline. Relative performance for the remaining platforms tested was calculated by dividing the actual benchmark result for the baseline platform into each of the specific benchmark results of each of the other platforms and assigning them a relative performance number that correlates with the performance improvements reported.

Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) requires a computer system with a processor supporting Intel® HT Technology and an Intel® HT Technology-enabled chipset, BIOS, and operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use. For more information including details on which processors support Intel® HT Technology, see www.intel.com/products/ht/hyperthreading_more.htm.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology requires a platform with a processor with Intel Turbo Boost Technology capability. Intel Turbo Boost Technology performance varies depending on hardware, software, and overall system configuration. Check with your platform manufacturer on whether your system delivers Intel Turbo Boost Technology. For more information, see www.intel.com/technology/turboboost/.
Intel® processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details.
