Quad core photoshop report
in [Photoshop]
|
From: Malcolm Smith on 24 Jan 2008 19:20 I promised December to give a report on my new quad core photoshop machine so here it is. The Old machine is a 3Ghz Pentium 4 with 2GB ram and XP SP2 photoshop CS3 and three disk systems including a SCSI ultrawide (14K rpm I think) and a reasonable display card. New Machine @.4Ghz Q6600 4GB ram ATI 3870 512 Mb graphics card three disk systems including a 80GB 10K rpm SATA dedicated to photoshop swapping. Vista 32bit OS. On several cpu intensive photoshop job steps the new machine was four times faster! I have a "gadget" on the new system which is basically a bar meter showing ram used and load on the four cpu cores - All the microsoft and photoshop software systems I run all four cores seem to be fairly well balanced so multithreading is good. On a radial blur high quality and large radius the four cores go to around 95 to 100%. On everyday photoshop tasks the cores four coures average around 50% each but most operations are now so quick it is hard to catch the gadget meter levels. i have no problems with vista Malcolm.

From: <jjs> on 24 Jan 2008 20:38 Yup! The new systems are screamers. Photoshop CS3 is also recoded and starts almost instantly. I'd not be surprised if many of the function improvements are not a result of the recoding. Adobe and Apple are unbeatable. I no longer measure how fast they are because it works for me every day. Best investment I ever made.
