Corona Alpha4 Benchmark scene

[Juraj]

Could someone please update this to Alpha 5?
Seems like A4 on which this is based doesn't work correctly on dual Xeon systems.
With A4 base, it doesn't show the speed increase you get in real life comparing to a quad i7 system.

Jann, what xeon system do you have ? I really need to buy few new systems, and I originally wanted 2x2687, but I see many people have some trouble with performance scaling with double socket, at which case, I would just buy few new 4930k, but I would not be so happy about that...

What performance gain do you get in "real scene" ? Thank you much in case of answer :- )

Nakama's result is utterly depressing to see double top xeons perform only as good as single 3930k, while the result should be 2.5x higher. Maybe it is only the benchmark setup, but I would like to see the performance scale decently equal in all situations..

If anyone has some top of the line dualsocket machine and some time, please add me on skype, I'd like to do some testing ;)

Throw message to Kryzstof, he have dual sys.

I have dual E5-2660 ES xeons in Z9PE-D8 WS board with 64Gb ram. On A4 benchmark they get 3.59 - about the same as overclocked 2700k@4.2Ghz we tested. In real scenes using A5 the xeons got 2-3 times better results than OC'd 2700k. So I suspect that A4 code just didn't scale as well as A5 does :)
If you're looking at retail xeons, 3930k or 4930k is definitely a better price/performance option. If you feel adventurous to get some ES cpus, then 2687w C0 could be a good investment. Or wait for the new Ivy gen xeon range with 10 and 12 cores and get ES of those :D

You can find me on skype by ragsjv :)

ok, if it scales, then there is no problem ;)

[Juraj]

Jann,

does it scale under both PT/PT and PT/HD conditions ? I've seen some conflicting info on this.

3930k is arguably better deal, but I have already 3 of those and one 2600k. I am not interested in building farms and taking care of so many boxes... also I like the idea of ECC ram and many other features of xeon based systems. Definitely won't be able to afford the new ivy bridge 12 cores, impossible price :- ) I have my limits too.

Clocking in at 3.17 on an overclocked 3930k over here! Still can't quite believe how quick Corona is!

Just wondering if anyone has a copy of the 3D studio max scene available for a closer look? I've PM'd Rawalanche too.

Can I get this scene for 3ds max somewhere?
And nice render BTH.

Hello, is there any way to run  this with an older CPU, I have Quad Core Q6600. Going upgrade soon , but I'm eager to test this renderer :)
