The 3DMark CPU Profile introduces a new approach to CPU benchmarking. Instead of producing a single score, the 3DMark CPU Profile shows you how your CPU’s performance changes and scales with the number of cores and threads used.

Platforms | Windows 10 |
Target hardware | Modern multicore processors |
Workload | The Max-threads test measures CPU performance using all available threads |
Workload | The 16-threads test measures CPU performance using 16 threads |
Workload | The 8-threads test measures CPU performance using 8 threads |
Workload | The 4-threads test measures CPU performance using 4 threads |
Workload | The 2-threads test measures CPU performance using 2 threads |
Workload | The 1-thread test measures CPU performance using a single thread |
The 3DMark CPU Profile has six tests that help you benchmark and compare CPU performance for a range of threading levels. Each of the six tests produces a score. Scores are comparable across tests. You can compare the 8-thread score with the 4-thread score, for example. A higher score means the CPU performed the work faster.
