Cinebench r20 vs r15: what are the differences between these two tests?

One of the most famous benchmarking programs is Cinebench and here we will explain the differences between two of its versions. The most obvious conclusion is that the newer update is better, but even so the older version is still quite relevant. Today we will see the comparison between Cinebench R20 vs R15 .

Cinebench overview

As you can guess, both programs were created by the same company, in this case Maxon, which also offers support material for renowned programs such as After Effects or Illustrator.

However, on the company's website there is no trace of Cinebench R15 , since it has been completely replaced by the R20 version. Therefore, if we want to download this first program, we have to do it through third-party pages.

It should be noted that it does not take over the System , so when we launch the benchmark it is recommended to close all processes, otherwise performance will be impaired.

Since Cinebench R15 is more veteran, we will start by talking about it and its characteristics.

Cinebench R15

Maxon has done an excellent job of simplifying the entire interface making it intuitive and easy on the eyes. Possibly this is one of the reasons why Cinebench (in its two versions) is a fairly popular test.

If you want to install any of the two programs, you can do it through the following links:
