Moreover, the optimization of Maxon Cinebench 2024 will allow creators to evaluate the performance capabilities of these new M3 chips. Maxon CEO, David McGavran explains:
“Maxon has consistently delivered quick support for Apple innovations, as we strive to deliver the best performance possible and enable artists to design at the speed of creativity. We’re excited to take advantage of the new M3 technology and are sure the speed gains will be invaluable in the creative process.”
Artists will undoubtedly experience outstanding performance when generating photorealistic imagery using Maxon’s industry-leading Redshift render engine. This is thanks to the increased GPU power of the M3 family of chips. Moreover, features such as hardware-accelerated ray tracing significantly improve performance in Redshift rendering.
What is Cinebench?
Maxon’s Cinebench 2024 is a sophisticated benchmarking tool, built on Maxon’s Redshift and Cinema 4D. Essentially, Cinebench allows any computer owner to test and evaluate their computer system for use with high-end graphics applications.

Cinebench offers a real-world benchmark for graphics performance. It incorporates a user’s commonly performed tasks when using Cinema 4D and Redshift to measure a system’s performance.
It has many practical uses; for example, IT administrators can use Cinebench to help make purchase decisions. Journalists can also use the results in reviewing hardware. Additionally, manufacturers can utilize the feedback Cinebench provides in order to optimize their latest products.
Availability
Maxon Cinebench 2024.1 is available immediately for anyone to download. This enables users to test and benchmark performance on both macOS and Windows hardware. Moreover, optimizations will be available as part of regular Redshift updates for Maxon One and Redshift subscribers in the coming months.
