HP Z1 All-in-One Workstation - The Stylish & Upgradeable Workhorse

Lightwave 3D 9.0 (64-bit) & Cinebench 11.5 (Multi-CPU)

Lightwave 3D 9.0 Results

On Lightwave 3D, the Core i7-2600K in our DIY system was once again the better performer, completing the rendering tasks about 10% quicker than the HP Z1. Again, we can attribute this performance difference primarily to the Core i7-2600K processor’s higher clock speeds.

Cinebench 11.5 Results

Cinebench is a benchmark that favors multi-threaded CPUs and with both the HP Z1 and DIY system both having comparable CPUs, the result was expectedly close. However, like the preceding benchmarks, our DIY system and its Core i7-2600K CPU achieved moderately higher scores.
