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 processors. It renders an ASCII scene without graphic in background while SPECapc* for 3DS Max* 9.0-Graphics & hardware shader runs on one logical processor in the foreground. Time (seconds) elapse is reported when workloads are finished. Elapsed time is then converted to Jobs/day as final score.

SPECapc* for 3dsmax* Performance
-
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* 6.5
-
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.

SPECapc* for Lightwave* 9.6 Render Score
-
Benchmark description
This is a new SPECapc* benchmark and will be available on April 6, 2009 from www.spec.org.

Bunkspeed Hypershot v1.7.5*
-
Benchmark description
Bunkspeed Hypershot* imports numerous MCAD and DCC model geometry formats and allows interactive photorealistic ray-tracing using physics-based material models. Photorealistic photon-mapping rendering is all CPU-based and scales almost perfectly with multiple physical cores.
New Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series based workstations
The Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series can dramatically advance the efficiency of IT infrastructure and provide unmatched business capabilities. These dual-processor-capable multi-core platforms transform workstations into workstation supercomputers that provide breakthrough performance and energy efficiency to visualize larger and more complex data. This groundbreaking intelligent workstation technology features:
- Intelligent Performance technology adapts to mega-tasking workloads, allocating more performance to demanding applications when available.
- Automated Energy Efficiency that scales energy usage to the workload to achieve optimal performance/watt.
- Flexible expandability that supports more memory and dual graphic adapters for better visualization experience.
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/index.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. Intel Performance Benchmark Limitations.
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.
