Cinebench 2026.2.0 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesCinebench is a free benchmark tool from Maxon for Mac owners who want to see how fast their machine renders 3D work. It renders a demanding scene with the Redshift engine, the same engine family used in Cinema 4D, and turns the result into scores for the processor and the graphics card. It helps buyers, upgraders and 3D artists check cooling, compare machines and confirm that a system stays stable under a heavy load.
Key Features
- Renders a real 3D scene to score processor performance in a repeatable way
- Tests graphics performance with the Redshift GPU benchmark
- Includes single core, multi core and SMT core test options
- Lets you set a longer minimum run time for stability and stress checks
- Supports the latest Apple silicon chips alongside Intel based Macs

System Requirements
Cinebench 2026 needs macOS 14.7 or later. It runs on Intel Macs and on Macs with Apple M series chips, and the GPU test needs enough graphics memory to load the scene.
FAQs
Is Cinebench free?
Yes. Maxon offers Cinebench at no cost, so you can test your Mac and compare it with other machines for free.
Can I compare Cinebench 2026 scores with older versions?
No. Maxon states that the 2026 scores were adjusted to a new range, so they should only be compared with scores from the same 2026 release.
What should I do before running a test?
Close other apps first. Background tasks can change the result, and a cool, freshly started machine will often score a little higher than a hot one.
