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.

Good, you have bought an Intel product, you will happy with it. I believe you will never buy AMD products, because their products are crap and can not win the benchmark.bupkus - Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - link
I have an AMD/ATI 4850 video card I bought a year and a half ago and it's working just fine. I don't expect Intel to have a competitive offering for a long time.maddoctor - Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - link
It will change with Larrabee. I believe you will buy Intel Larrabee, because simple choice will make you happy with Intel standards.maddoctor - Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - link
Yeah, I want it soon. Intel will crush them in the low end segment too. I want Intel own all PC Market if Intel have been successfully made AMD's cash empty. AMD is whine too much, so Intel must punish AMD until dead.bersl2 - Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - link

Look everyone! Its maddoctor! The counter-twin to snakeoil!Shilohen - Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - link
Ohh, I've never read anything from snakeoil yet so I was seeing him more like Intel's SiliconDoc.Eeqmcsq - Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - link
Boy, you're not kidding. Put those two together and there be fireworks.RubberJohnny - Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - link
It probably is snakeoil, he leaves out a couple of words here and there to make it sound like he comes from some non english speaking country instead of his mums basement...
