Hi all, here is the new Cycles CPU benchmark for Blender 2.79
Please use official release of Blender 2.79 only (NOT Buildbot, NOT Graphicall)
Open file, hit F12,write down:
OS
CPU model @stock frequency
Render time
Please do not use your machine until rendering is complete.
Please use orginal Blender stamp format xx:xx.xx
Please don´t upload images, render time and specs only, as stamped.

It is better you check the frequency your CPU is working. But If you do not know the frequency your CPU is running or if it is running overclocked with some profile on the motherboard, you simply indicate the CPU model. This will be taken as running at stock frequency.
If you want you can overclock and publish render time and stating that you are overclocking and at what freq it is running (e.g, @4.2GHz OC). You should keep in mind that this benchmark should be useful for other users to decide the hardware to buy. So please do not overclock too much, use feasible overclocking to production render under long hours of hard work.
Many thanks to mib2berlin for review and improvements to the file, and for the support.

If you think that I have made some mistake in the spreadsheet, please let me know.
*Personal Note: If you are thinking of a machine intended only for CPU rendering with Cycles, you should surely pay attention to these results. But you should keep in mind that overall performance of many tasks in Blender depend on single thread performance. So please, you also keep in mind this if you are planning to work with Blender on that computer:
