We have finally release an updated Corona Benchmark. It features automatic upload and verification of results, new scene, and Corona 1.3 core. Download the benchmark and view results here: Corona Benchmark | Chaos
In addition you can use this thread to share and discuss results, and report any problems.
edit: I am attaching the high-res version of the scene used here as a bonus

It’s alive!
Hah, works well :- )

Finally!
Wonder who will be the first to go under one minute :]
There’s still E7-46xx something guy who should be able to score less than 30 seconds :- )

What now? Anything I can do about it?
Does the benchmark encompass adaptivity?

Yeah, this should have been somehow solved. For clarity. Or at least offer self-reporting.

It’s a 1.3 benchmark, not 1.4.
Does it detect overclocked cpu frequencies properly? Or it’s just that nobody submitted OC’d results yet?
It does not.

Can confirm, Corona benchmark tries to install 64bit VS++ redist, but fails.
The official 64bit VS++ exits with the following in the log:
[0128:0A88][2016-03-08T14:23:13]e000: Error 0x80240017: Failed to execute MSU package.

Know bullshit with the 2015 installer, this is Computer specific, I’ll post a workaround in this thread in couple of minutes.
I thought that was the Trello entry submited earlier then 1.4 release…
See attached image.
The executable lacks a Version number, looks aweful with 0.0.0.0 in the explorer 
see attached image
sometimes ;). We did our best, but it seems to be really hard to detect in windows
it was originally planned for 1.3, but it got postponed. We decided to name it 1.3 benchmark, as it does not use the 1.4 features - adaptivity (which currently causes non-determinism), denoising (which is not fully debugged yet), and new VFB.
