This guide compiles Cinebench R23 scores—both single-core and multi-core—from my laptop reviews. If you’re considering a new device, these benchmarks can help you evaluate real-world CPU performance and understand what is a good Cinebench R23 score for your needs. Whether you’re looking for productivity, gaming, or content creation, knowing the numbers makes all the difference.
Testing Methodology
Plugged In Results: All Cinebench R23 scores laptop tests are done with the charger connected for maximum performance. Multi-core scores are the average of three 10-minute runs to simulate real-world sustained workloads. A single quick test run may produce higher numbers, but our method shows realistic performance after thermal and power limits are reached.
Battery Power Results: With the charger disconnected (100% battery), we run a sequence of tests—single-core, multi-core, then single-core again. Unlike Cinebench 2024, Cinebench R23 download is faster to complete, so we don’t rely on timed tests here.
Performance Mode: Every laptop is tested using its highest performance profile, with fans set to maximum. Some laptops reduce performance modes automatically on battery, and that is reflected in the results.
Stock Settings: No manual undervolting, overclocking, or custom tweaks—results are recorded as-is from the manufacturer.
Sorting the Results
The results table is sorted by multi-core performance by default, but you can rearrange it to compare single-core efficiency or specific processors. Enthusiasts who often visit laptops reviewer Cinebench R23 2025 charts or nano review.net Cinebench R23 score databases can cross-check these results for consistency.
