POV-Ray 3.7

POV-Ray is a ray tracing program available for a variety of platforms. It was originally based on DKBTrace, a program developed by David Kirk Buck and Aaron A. Collins. He was also heavily influenced by the ray tracing program Polyray with the consent of its author Alexander Enzmann. In newer versions the rendering engine has been updated to allow the calculation of the deep global illumination, caustics, and elements to create particle clouds, fire, steam. Now makes use of multithreading, then takes advantage of multicore processors on the computer, or multiple processors.

The time registered in this program let leap the new Intel CPU at the top of our list. Sharply distancing the i7-980X CPU that before the release of Sandy Bridge-E won first place in the standings.

The first place goes to the new Intel i7-3960X, which separates all the others, although we note the i7-980X CPU can be around.
