With two more cores over the previous generation, the new Coffee Lake 8th Gen CPUs perform extremely well in certain applications. However, Photoshop has historically struggled with higher core counts so will the new CPUs actually be any faster?
Photoshop CC 2017.1.1 CPU Performance: Core i9 7940X, 7960X, 7980XE
Photoshop may not be the best use case for these new 14, 16, and 18 core CPUs from Intel, but just how much worse are they compared to their lower core count counterparts?
Photoshop CC 2017.1.1 CPU Comparison: Skylake-X vs Threadripper
While neither Skylake-X or Threadripper are likely the best choice for a pure Photoshop workstation, Photoshop is such a widely used application that we thought it would be useful to see just how well these two CPU lines perform.
Photoshop CC 2017.1.1 CPU Comparison: Skylake-X, Kaby Lake-X, Broadwell-E, Kaby Lake, Ryzen 7
In this article we will be examining how the new Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X CPUs on X299 compare to the previous generation Intel CPUs and AMD’s Ryzen CPUs in Photoshop.
Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 Mac Pro vs PC Performance
A Mac Pro is not be best choice for Photoshop (even among Apple’s offerings), but there are a number of users who use Photoshop as a secondary application in their workflow. In this article we will be examining how the top-end Mac Pro (late 2013) compares to two of our workstations.
Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 AMD Ryzen 7 1700X & 1800X Performance
Whenever there is a new generation of CPUs launched, the main question everyone wants to know is how fast they are. In the case of AMD’s Ryzen, there are also a lot of questions surrounding how they compare to the offerings available from Intel. For quite a while now, Intel has held a dominant position in nearly every computing market but there is a lot of hype around Ryzen due to the fact that you can get eight CPUs cores for half the cost of an eight core Intel CPU.
Photoshop CC 2017 NVIDIA Quadro GPU Performance
Video cards often get a lot of press and reviews, but unfortunately the professional cards such as the NVIDIA Quadro cards often get overlooked. In this article we will be looking at the current Quadro lineup to see how they perform in Photoshop.
Photoshop CC 2017 NVIDIA GeForce GPU Performance
Video cards often get a lot of press and reviews, but unfortunately for content creators (and other professionals), it is almost impossible to find any relevant non-gaming benchmarks to help you decide what card to purchase. In this article we will be looking at the GTX 1000 series cards and the Pascal Titan X to see how they perform in Photoshop.
How Much Faster is a Modern Workstation for Adobe Photoshop CC 2017?
There is no doubt that a modern workstations are incredibly fast, but it can be difficult to determine how much of a performance gain you might see if you were to replace your 2,3,4, or 5 year old workstation. To try to answer this question as objectively as we can, we decided to benchmark five workstations using the highest end components over the past 6 years to see how they compare in Photoshop 2017
Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 Intel Core i7 7700K & i5 7600K Performance
With the new Kaby Lake CPUs from Intel, the main question everyone wants to know is how much faster they are compared to the old CPUs. In this article, we will be tackling this question in terms of Photoshop performance by examining how the new Intel Core i7 7700K and the Intel Core i5 7600K perform compared to the previous generation Intel Core i7 6700K and Intel Core i5 6600K. In addition, we will also look at a number of “High-End” Core i7 CPUs including the i7 6850K, i7 6900K, and i7 6950X.
