The problem is how you do the comparison, you are not comparing two with four cores. When you moved to quad cores, you had a new processor with a new processor design, a new motherboard with a new chip set, faster memory with greater memeory bus speed and more memory and moving from 32 to 64 bit software also can be significative.

 

Fair point, I was tending to concentrate on the processor rather than the whole system which is not only an elementary mistake but even more surprising considering the research I did to match the system components.    What particularly pleased me was I had the extra speed but not at the cost of increased noise as the system is quite quiet in use, which was another reason for the research.  Render speed is important of course buy better previews and reduction in sound and power consumption are all benefits.

 

 

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
