Adobe Photoshop CS4 Performance

To measure performance under Photoshop CS4 we turn to the Retouch Artists’ Speed Test. The test does basic photo editing; there are a couple of color space conversions, many layer creations, color curve adjustment, image and canvas size adjustment, unsharp mask, and finally a gaussian blur performed on the entire image.

The whole process is timed and thanks to the use of Intel's X25-M SSD as our test bed hard drive, performance is far more predictable than back when we used to test on mechanical disks.

Time is reported in seconds and the lower numbers mean better performance. The test is multithreaded and can hit all four cores in a quad-core machine.

Photoshop performance of our triple core competitor is slower than the lower clocked X4 620. It is however the exact same speed as the Phenom II X3 720.

    It's funny how some people here are trying to guesstimate. I'm not an AMDiot like snakeoil.

    Exactly, you're the omega to his alpha, whatever that means.

    Whatever, please you must notice that everyone in Intel Investorhub website and AiMeD Corporation blogs have been talk like me that AMD will be doomed with its own not so competence in developing its products.

    I didn't want to stoop to your level but...you speak the truth.

    Maddoctor you are a retard...have fun paying $1000 for your i3 when your intel monopoly wet dream comes true.

    Intel products are cheaper. Price/performance ration is more favourable to Intel products. Only AMDiot will like AMD products. And Intel is not monopoly, this is the nature capitalism folks, if you don't have any competitive product, it is a grant to a company with the best product to crush you.
