We start off with the benchmarks that high-light the strengths and weaknesses of a workstation as the ZMax d2 is by and large supposed to fulfill the role of a workstation.

CINEBENCH is the free benchmarking tool for Windows and Mac OS based on the powerful 3D software CINEMA 4D. The tool is set to deliver accurate benchmarks by testing not only a computer's raw processing speed but also all other areas that affect system performance such as OpenGL, multithreading and multiprocessors.

We see that the Pentium 4 540 3.2GHz is faster by the Dual Opterons 240 1.4GHz in most of the tests by about 6%. However, for the CPU Multiple rendering test, the IWILL ZMax actually completes that task 17% faster!
