Quality : No difference at all (assuming you render the same number of passes)

Speed: It is slower (than GPU or Hybrid) for sure, but how much slower will depend greatly on your setup. ie; what GPU would you be using? What number/type/speed CPU's are you using, etc. etc.

  Thanks. For the info.
  This means solidworks Visualize is far better than keyshot
  Because keyshot only uses CPU and doesnot have option to make use of GPU
