Why Cinebench R20?

Generally it's down to consistency across CPUs and platforms so they don't have to retest all over again on the latest version with the older stuff to compare against.

The same CPU scores differently for each version. In order to compare the scores directly, you have to test on the same version, so it's either retest all the older CPUs on R23 or keeping testing on R20.

 

I would imagine they're still doing tests on R23, just so they have them when they do eventually switch over. They're just only reporting on R20.

I watch alot of JayZ2Cents and a few others YouTubers. Cinebench R20 seems to be the go-to cpu bench. I go to download it and R23 is the latest. So... why do they still use R20?

For the longest time Cinebench R15 has been the standard for CPU testing, since its release in 2013.

Then we got Cinebench R20 after 6 years of using R15.

 

Late last year we got Cinebench R23.

There was a large gap between R15 and R20, but - in comparison - a rather minimal gap between R20 and R23.

That means most reviewers tests and workflows were only 'just' adjusted to R20 and there just has not been enough time to change to R23 and test all the older products too.

 

TL;DR: R23 is still a bit too new to be integrated as much as R20 was.

R15 and R20 you can just download and run.

r23 requires "registration" and that's a PITA.

No it doesn't.

No registration, but it does run for 10 minutes, so I can see that being a deterrent.

You know what? You are right. I had downloaded r23, from what I could have sworn was straight from Maxon, and they wanted registration.

So I went back to r15/r20.

 

Trying again from TechSpot, the installer didn't give me any grief.

So, score -1 for me...
