For AE, Teddy’s benchmark is only raytracing – useful – but not related directly to overall AE performance on a particular box.
No one is really benchmarking AE these days. For Mac benchmarks, some non-AE stuff here:

Not Mac-based, but Tom’s Hardware is the only major site I know that uses AE benchmarks. E.g.
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/xeon-e3-1275-v3-haswell-cpu,3590-7.html – you can look up other CPU reviews to get a sense of AE performance.
Some German informal runs here: http://benchmark.slashcam.de/
From my experience if you work in HD and lower, core speed and number of cores is important and minimum of 2GB of RAM per core plus RAM left for AE and OS.
4K and beyond requires 4GB RAM per core and must have SSD for disk cache to preserve sanity.
Unless you do much with ray-tracing in AE, choose your GPU for Premiere, C4D etc. not for AE.

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the
meaning, all that comes later.

I am looking to add a C4D/AE machine to my stable but, I want to compare performance differences between various options (iMacs vs Macpros, 4 core vs 8 core, etc). Is there a good place for AE benchmarks to compare?
