PugetBench for Adobe Creative Cloud
Written on February 25, 2020 by Matt BachThese benchmarks are still in development. While the purpose of the benchmarks will remain the same, the specific way they run (and what they test) is likely to change. If you need long-term consistency between benchmark results, we recommend waiting until the benchmarks are out of beta.

Adobe's Creative Cloud suite includes industry leading applications for graphic design, photography, video editing, and a host of other creative workflows. Even though these applications are all developed by Adobe, each utilizes the hardware in a computer in very different and unique ways. Because of this, it can be extremely difficult to determine exactly what hardware will give the end user the best possible performance.
To address the need for comprehensive, repeatable, and consistent benchmark testing, Puget Systems is developing benchmarks that are designed to thoroughly test many of Adobe's most popular applications using real-world projects and workflows. In fact, these are the same benchmarks we use to publish regular hardware articles looking at the performance of the latest CPU, GPU, and other hardware components.
The world of computing is vast, however, and there is no way we can feasibly test every possible combination of hardware available. Since we care so deeply about improving and furthering both the workstation and content creation industries as a whole, we have decided to make many of our benchmarks available for public download. While we do have free versions that allow individuals to evaluate the performance of their own systems, we also have specific commercial use versions that include features that are often desired by those performing testing for commercial applications (system reviewers, hardware/software developers, workstation manufacturers, etc.)

Why you don't create benchmark for Adobe Audition?
That is something we have looked at in the past, but we had a really hard time working out real-world projects that would be good for testing. The only things we could find that really showed a difference between different hardware were completely unrealistic situations that no one would ever actually be doing.
Can I run the free edition and publish my results to online groups (with link to pugetsystems tool)
As long as you are not profiting from it, yes! So helping people figure out what hardware to use, bragging, etc, is all just fine as long as you are not publishing reviews, selling systems directly, or things like that.
if this PugetBench for Adobe Creative Cloud - Suite single License can be deployed on multiple machines ?
Hey Asit - our licensing is per technician, so a single person can use it on as many machines as they want. Doesn't matter if it is 1 machine or 200.
Thanks Matt for clarification. Is there a corporate license also available which can be used by multiple technicians ?
Right now, the main way to do that would be to just purchase multiple licenses. If you need more than 10 licenses, however, you can email benchmark-support@pugetsystems.com and we can talk about quantity discounts.
Thanks Matt
Hi Matt, in case the technician moves to some other org or company ,this license can be transferred to other technician internally within the team ?
Yea, that is fine. We are trying to be very flexible in the licensing terms, which is why we aren't tying the license to a specific email address or anything like that.
