Laptop CPU Performance in Cinebench R23

This is my collection of Cinebench R23 single and multi core scores from my laptop reviews. You can use this benchmark data to get an idea of the CPU performance to expect from a particular laptop / mobile processor.

Testing Methodology

• “Plugged In” results were tested with the charger connected to a wall outlet for best performance. For consistent results, multi core scores are 3x 10 minute runs averaged together to represent a worst case after any CPU thermal or power limits are reached. Higher scores are absolutely possible if you run one single test pass.
• “Battery Power” results were tested with the charger disconnected, starting from a full 100% charge. We run 1x single core test first, followed by 2x 10 minute multi core tests, then a second single core test. Depending on the size of the battery, 3x 10 minute multi core tests may not be feasible.
• The highest performance mode available through the laptop’s control panel software was used for best results. For some laptops, the highest available mode may be lower when the charger is disconnected.
• No manual overclocking, undervolting or any other customized tuning has been done. Consider all results here as stock.
