With the Blender 3D modeling software there were some small performance improvements for CPU-based rendering while also seeing better CPU power management.
The proprietary V-RAY renderer showed similar performance but with more aggressive power efficiency.
In some cases like the Embree ray-tracing kernels, the November 2025 state is slower than at launch but with noticeably lower CPU power use that in turn lead to better performance-per-Watt.
