Those are some nice results. It shows that broly8877 must have made a typo or done something incorrectly when running the test on his system.

On my CS2 system, with the Pentium D @ 3 GHz, it runs in 48 seconds. I went to tried it out with only one of my cores active for Photoshop (by assigning it only one cpu in the Task Manager process affinity screen) and ran the test again. Wound up getting a score of 1:36 (96 seconds).

One other thing I'd like to see is those who have the Core2Duo E6300 chips or cpu's clocked at 1.86 GHz, to run tests on them. I am trying to persuade a friend that the E6300 is quite a bit better than his Pentium D. One score from a E6300 thus far is nice, and if anyone else can test that out, I'd appreciate it.

Is it possible that broly8877 could achieve that time by using a ramdrive?

I am guessing he opened this test image with IE explorer which shrinks image at the end of download to fit inside of the window... after that he right click and saved it in smaller sized image --> hence inaccurate result came up.

Interesting thought, but I do not think a ramdrive would speed that up as much as he quoted. Photoshop only uses the disk space when the image and the manipulation are so large that the ram is exceeded. This is a sort of ram cache on the hd. With 2gb of ram, photoshop will not cache to the hd. This was an issue years ago when people had 128mb or less of ram and the images were large. Now we have such an abundance of ram that this would only occur with an extremely large image file at high dpi, and even then i doubt it.

WOW!
I guess this means that PhotoShop takes advantage of quad core too...

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

100 seconds on my laptop (Intel Core Solo 1.85GHz with 1gb RAM).

 

[Tyhr]

2 minutes on the nose.

Pentium M 2.13Mhz 2GB Ram work laptop

Note : also since I'm at work, I have a bunch of programs open (Visual Studio, Office, etc). I think 700MB is already committed to other apps, and I suspect I could get a faster time if I closed all them. But since I need to pretend that I'm still working, this is the number you get, LoL...

 

[homestarmy]

That's pretty good for 2 MHz. My Nintendo runs at about that speed and it couldn't even run Photoshop!

I dont get it. looks like you have a Engineering sample of an E6600.. and your getting 17 seconds?? how did you manage that?

It's a quadcore Kentsfield, not an E6600

awesome score! definitely shows that Photoshop utilizes the power of the extra cores.

Are you running CS or CS2?

I have a ton of stuff running too, though, like EverQuest, antivirus, and uTorrent, so it might be a little off. I'll try it again later with nothing running.
