If so I wouldn't call it minor. Optimising for SSE isnt just optimising for intel either, the Opterons do run certains subsets of of SSE faster than their intel equivalents(or they definitely did vs P4 even though intel came up with them, not sure about Conroe etc)AFAIK.
It isn't. The Cinema 4D renderer is CRAP.

Cinebench is only popular for those people who DON'T use Cinema 4D. The former is obsessed with statistics and e-peen, the latter is obsessed with creating something in 3D space.


And now that Autodesk has 3DS Max, Maya and XSI all under one roof, I think C4D's relevance is gonna fall even more.
