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.
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.
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
