I've been poking around - can't find any good CS 5.5 or even CS5 AE benchmarks. Anyone got a good one? I may just make a quick project. And I'm a maya user, don't have C4D. But if anyone wants to post a project I'd be happy to post the results. For the relative benchmarks here are my cinebench scores:

OpenGL - 62.24 FPS
CPU (hyperthreading off) 11.00 pts (12.93 HT on)
CPU (single core) 1.86 pts
MP ratio 5.90x

For reference, an 8 core xeon @3.33 GHz gets 1.20 single-cpu score

would love to see benchmarks for AE and C4D... I'm in the market for a new machine myself.
