How is 11th Gen Intel Core i9 11980HK for 3D Animation and Rendering
We see that the 11th Gen Intel Core i9 11980HK is an excellent processor of 3D Animation and Rendering and comparable to AMD Ryzen 9 5900Hx/5980Hx making it one of the best processors for 3D rendering and animation that you can find on a laptop.
Blender
11th Gen Intel Core i9 11980HK is close to desktop-level performance in blender benchmarks and sits between the 5900Hx and 5980Hx in terms of performance. Compared to its predecessor i9-10980HK the i9 11980HK is almost 20 percent faster. Blender is an open-source digital content creation software for 3D-Modeling, Animation, Rendering, Video Editing & Compositing Solutions on the market. Blender has its own benchmarks and is used to measure the rendering capabilities of a CPU or GPU. The following bars indicate the time is taken to render a scene ( Less is better)
Cinebench single Core
Based on cinema 4d the Cinebench measures CPU performance in animation, 3d-modeling, simulation, and rendering. Single-core performance measures the responsiveness of the software under active workloads. When it comes to the Cinebench R20 and R15 single-core benchmarks 11980HK goes toe to toe with its competition. However, if we look at the latest version of cinebench the cinebench r23 benchmark we can see in single-core performance 11980HK the best mobile CPU out there and trades blows with desktop level CPUs.
Cinebench Multi-Core
Based on cinema 4d the Cinebench R20 measures CPU performance in animation, 3d-modeling, simulation, and rendering. Multi-core score measures the CPU’s ability to handle tasks such as rendering, encoding, and other workloads that benefit from better multi-threaded performance. When it comes to the Cinebench R20 and R15 muli-core benchmarks 11980HK goes toe to toe with its competition with it losing to AMD 5900Hx with the slightest of margins. However, if we look at the latest version of cinebench the cinebench r23 benchmark we can see in multi-core performance 11980HK the best mobile CPU out there and trades blows with desktop level CPUs.
