Windows 11 is finally here, and while many popular photo editing applications like Photoshop and Lightroom Classic technically have official support, many come with a note that there may still be performance issues. We want to test to see if performance in these applications is better on Windows 11 vs Windows 10, or if you should hold off on upgrading.
Intel’s new 11th Gen Core processors are here, with significant improvements including an advertised 19% improvement in IPC (instructions per clock), but with a drop in total core count on the high end. This makes it hard to estimate how each model will perform in the real world without application and workflow specific benchmarking and testing.
Earlier this month, Intel announced the initial launch of their new 11th Gen Intel Core desktop processors (code-named “Rocket Lake”). These new processors are marketed as having substantially better per-core performance compared to their previous 10th Gen Core models, but AMD currently has a large lead in applications like Lightroom Classic. Will these new CPUs be enough for Intel to overtake AMD in Lightroom Classic?
Lightroom Classic may not be the most intensive application for many workflows, but for those that spend a significant amount of time in it, a properly configured workstation can make a big impact on productivity. In this post, we will go over a few of our recommendations for the best PC for Adobe Lightroom Classic for a range of budgets.
The Radeon RX 6800 cards are here, with AMD boasting significant performance gains over the previous generation. We have looked at how the 6800 16GB and 6800 XT 16GB perform in a range of professional applications to help you decide whether they are worth using in a new workstation, or as an upgrade in your current system.
AMD’s new Ryzen 5000 Series processors are here, with significant improvements including an advertised 19% improvement in IPC (instructions per clock). This should result in large performance gains across the board, but exactly how well do these CPUs perform in the real world?
Lightroom Classic has always performed well with AMD processors, although Intel has had a slight lead in active tasks. However, AMD’s Ryzen 5000 Series processors are here, touting major increases in performance in per-core performance which should allow AMD to take a solid lead over Intel no matter what your workflow is in Lightroom Classic.
The RTX 30-series cards are here, with NVIDIA boasting significant performance gains over the previous generation. We have looked at how the RTX 3070 8GB, RTX 3080 10GB and RTX 3090 24GB perform in a range of professional applications to help you decide whether they are worth using in a new workstation, or as an upgrade in your current system.
While applications like Lightroom Classic utilize the GPU to accelerate a number of tasks, investing in a high-end GPU generally doesn’t net you much performance gain. With NVIDIA’s new RTX 3070, 3080 and 3090 cards, will this continue to hold true, or is there a reason to invest in one of these new GPUs?
