Intel Core i9-10900K Rendering Benchmarks

Rendering tests are a long-time favorite of reviewers and benchmarkers, as the code used by rendering packages is usually highly optimized to squeeze every little bit of performance out. Sometimes rendering programs end up being heavily memory dependent as well - when you have that many threads flying about with a ton of data, having low latency memory can be key to everything. Here we take a few of the usual rendering packages under Windows 10, as well as a few new interesting benchmarks.

Cinebench R20 - Multi-Threaded
Core i9-10900K Cinebench R20 - Multi-Threaded Performance

The Core i9-10900K sits between Ryzen 9 5900X and Ryzen 7 5800X3D. It is 2.6% lower than the Ryzen 9 5900X while being 7.6% higher than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. In this benchmark, the Core i9-10900K has an impressive performance, which is way ahead of the last generation Core i9-9900KS by 20.4%. With 2 additional cores, the Core i9-10900K provides a smoother experience than the Core i9-9900KS. Again, the Core i9-9900KS tumbles down the chart, falling behind its Comet Lake-based successor. That's a ~20.4% generational speed-up in this title. The Core i9-9900KS clearly shows how significantly the enthusiast Coffee Lake Refresh-based CPUs fall behind the Comet Lake models. The Core i9-10900K's performance earns it the 15th place. The less expensive 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X provides far more performance in these tests, and it also sells for ~$420. That higher score is a byproduct of the Ryzen 9 3900X's extra threads. Intel's Core i9-10900K notches a small win over the Core i9-9900KS, but opens up an impressive lead over the stock Ryzen 9 3900X. Overall, the Core i9-10900K is a very good performer with its 10-cores and 20-threads in this benchmark.
