Blender 2.60

Blender is an open source program modeling, rigging, animation, compositing and rendering of three-dimensional images. It also has features for UV mapping, simulations of fluids, coatings, particles, and other non-linear simulations, creating applications / games 3D. It is available for various operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, along with unofficial port for BeOS, SkyOS, AmigaOS, MorphOS and Pocket PC. Blender has a robust feature set comparable in features and complexity, other popular programs for 3D modeling.

The test, performed using our default rendering scene, helps us to see how it behaves on single core architecture. In fact, as already shown in some tests made in previous pages, the result on the single core is not at all exciting. We are at the same level with the Lynnfield CPU i7-860.The new Intel Sandy Bridge on the individual cores are very fast.

Again, using a single processing core, the loss in performance is particularly strong in relation to other CPUs.
