Adobe Photoshop CS4 Performance
To measure performance under Photoshop CS4 we turn to the Retouch Artists’ Speed Test. The test does basic photo editing; there are a couple of color space conversions, many layer creations, color curve adjustment, image and canvas size adjustment, unsharp mask, and finally a gaussian blur performed on the entire image.
The whole process is timed and thanks to the use of Intel's X25-M SSD as our test bed hard drive, performance is far more predictable than back when we used to test on mechanical disks.
Time is reported in seconds and the lower numbers mean better performance. The test is multithreaded and can hit all four cores in a quad-core machine.
Photoshop CS4 continues to be more comfortable with Intel CPUs, as even the Core 2 Quad Q9400 is able to outperform the X4 955. The cream of the crop here is Intel's Core i7 though, even a 920 is able to outperform the fastest Core 2 Quad we have here.

Many online reviews written by the computer hardware. Regard it as the person seeking advice testdrives Ferrari to life when you want to buy a car for your daily needs of commuting, and he might start telling you how bad the Toyota Prius, regardless of cost or requirement. In the world of processors, this is BMW's very good that you managed to buy a very cheap price.bckolte - Wednesday, December 7, 2011 - link

I'm guessing that he is showing the processor's actual speed during the test. The 2.8GHz speed likely is due to the i7's native ability to overclock itself via Turbo Mode (see page 4 of the article). Turbo mode tends to activate pretty much any time a load is on the CPU. But it's not really "unfair" as all i7 users get that benefit without doing anything extra, plus i7 chips still overclock far beyond that point. http://www.freeinstafollowers.info/Kickzing - Thursday, March 23, 2017 - link
AMD is really good and I really like how they run cooler than Intel. It's helped me to build my website http://getfreeinstagramfollowersteam.com so thanks AMD!
