MAXON CINEBENCH runs several tests on computers to measure the performance of the processor and graphics card under real-world circumstances and makes use of up to 16 cpus or cpu cores. Cinebench’s test process is in two-phases: The first test procedure is directed against the cpu using a 3D render scene and photo realistic image settings shown above to test how fast the cpu can produce the fully rendered scene. During the 1st pass of the test, the benchmark will only use one cpu, or in a multi-cpu core system it will use only a single cpu core to render the photo realistic scene to get a base value against which it will then perform the 2nd phase of the test using all of the cpu cores available. Higher Frames/Second and lower rendering time in seconds equals better performance.

After running the test, we see that the Athlon II 440 x3 scored a 3083 CB-CPU in the first phase and an 8102 CB-CPU on the second phase. The Multiprocessor Speedup reported during the second phase was a 2.63x which is a good bit of efficiency for a triple core. a perfect 3x speed increase would be near impossible due to caching. The GPU test is irrelevant.
WinRar
WinRar’s internal benchmark utility shows what the real time speed in KB/s that would be when using both single-thread and multi-threaded tasks. Looking at the results, we see that the Athlon II 440 x3 scored 467 KB/s without multi-threading and 990 KB/s with multi-threading.
