Blender 5.0 Benchmarks Since Blender 3.0 For CPU Rendering Performance

As part of the many different year-end benchmarks on Phoronix, over the holidays I was curious about how far the Blender 3D modeling software's performance has evolved over the past few years. So in looking at the CPU rendering performance I ran benchmarks of the major releases since Blender 3.0 through the recently released Blender 5.0.

Blender 5.0 released in November with many enhancements. As part of various year-end benchmarking comparisons on Phoronix I freshly re-tested from Blender 5.0 back to Blender 3.0 major releases on the same system.
