Intel has launched new, higher core count Skylake-X processors. Can they take back the performance crown from AMD’s Threadripper in V-Ray?
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?
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?
After Effects CC 2017.2 CPU Performance: Core i9 7940X, 7960X, 7980XE
For years, After Effects has struggled to utilize high core count CPUs effectively. Will this hold true for the new 14, 16, and 18 core Intel CPUs, or will they give us a surprise?
