Since Lightroom Classic is much better at utilizing multiple CPU cores than the older versions of Lightroom, the new 9th Gen Intel Core Processors are very interesting. Not only do they have a small frequency bump, but they also include an increase in core count.
Lightroom Classic CC 2018: AMD Threadripper 2990WX & 2950X Performance
Lighroom Classic CC saw dramatic performance improvements with higher core count CPUs, but the 2990WX in particular has a staggering 32 cores. Will Lightroom Classic be able to take advantage of these extremely high core counts, or we have reached the point of diminishing returns?
Lightroom Classic CC Version 7.2 Performance
The initial release of Lightroom Classic CC gave us some great performance gains, but the Lightroom team is not done yet. With the new 7.2 update, we once again get some terrific performance improvements, this time with an emphasis on improved multi-core performance using high core count CPUs in a number of tasks.
Lightroom Classic CC: is it faster than CC 2015?
With Lightroom Classic CC, Adobe is advertising performance improvements for a number of tasks including importing, generating smart previews, scrolling through images, and much more. In this article we will be running our Lightroom benchmark suite to see if Classic CC is actually faster than CC 2015.
Lightroom CC 2015.12 CPU Performance: Core i7 8700K, i5 8600K, i3 8350K
Lightroom contains a few tasks that can utilize a higher number of CPU cores, but much of the application can only take advantage of a couple of cores. With the new Coffee Lake 8th Gen CPUs seeing an increase in core count, will Lightroom see a significant benefit?
Lightroom CC 2015.12 CPU Performance: Core i9 7940X, 7960X, 7980XE
Lightroom contains a number of tasks that can utilize a decent number of CPU cores, but with Intel’s new CPUs you can now have up to 18 physical cores on a single consumer CPU. Can Lightroom actually make use of all these additional cores?
Lightroom CC 2015.10.1 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 Lightroom.
Adobe Lightroom CC 2015.8 AMD Ryzen 7 1700X & 1800X Performance
CPUs often get a lot of press and reviews, but unfortunately for content creators (and other professionals), it is almost impossible to find relevant non-gaming benchmarks to help you decide what CPU to purchase. In this article we will be looking at the new AMD Ryzen CPUs to see how they perform compared to their Intel counterparts.
How Much Faster is a Modern Workstation for Adobe Lightroom CC 2015.8?
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 Lightroom 2015.8
Adobe Lightroom CC 2015.8 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 Lightroom 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.
