Solidworks 2016 Multi Core Performance
Despite how popular Solidworks is, there is a lot of outdated and simply inaccurate information on the web regarding how many CPU cores it is able to effectively utilize. In this article we will be looking at the multi-threaded portions of Solidworks to determine whether having a high core count CPU is worth the investment.
Is CPU Overclocking in Solidworks 2016 worth it?
Overclocking your CPU can result in higher performance in Solidworks, but there are a number of risks you run when doing so. In this article we will be benchmarking Solidworks with an overclocked CPU to determine exactly how much better performance you can achieve while also presenting the main downsides associated with overclocking.
Adobe After Effects CC 2014 Multi Core Performance
After Effects 2015 has some significant performance problems with multiple CPUs due to the removal of the “Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously” feature. In this article we want to test AE 2014 to see how well AE was able to utilize systems with both higher core count and multiple physical CPUs before this feature was removed.
Adobe After Effects CC 2015 Multi Core Performance
High-end systems for After Effects are often sold with two high core count CPUs for maximum CPU performance. However, our testing has shown that After Effects actually has some significant performance problems with multiple CPUs which makes those configurations in reality much slower than a system with a single CPU.
Agisoft PhotoScan Multi Core Performance
PhotoScan is a program that takes a series of photographs and combines them into a 3D model. In this article we will be benchmarking PhotoScan to determine exactly how well it is able to utilize multiple CPU cores to help determine what CPU will give the best overall performance for PhotoScan.
Agisoft PhotoScan GPU Acceleration
PhotoScan is a program that takes a series of photographs and combines them into a 3D model. What is a bit unique about it is that the performance of certain portions of the software can be drastically improved by used multiple video cards.
Adobe Premiere Pro CC Multi Core Performance
Premiere Pro is often touted as greatly benefiting from high core count CPUs. In this article we will be benchmarking the multi-threading capabilities of Premiere Pro CC to determine if it actually is at using high core count CPUs.
Intel CPUs: Xeon E5 vs. Core i7
As we move more and more of our workstation systems to Xeon CPUs, we sometimes get asked why we are using server CPUs instead of the “faster” Core i7 CPUs. In this article we will be going over what makes Xeon E5 and Core i7 CPUs different and whether one is actually faster than the other.
Adobe Lightroom CC/6 Multi Core Performance
With hundreds of CPU models available, it can be a daunting task to determine which CPU will give you the best performance in Lightroom. In this article we will be examining the multi-threading capabilities of Lightroom CC and Lightroom 6 to determine whether a CPU with a high frequency or a CPU with a high core count will give you the best possible performance.
Adobe Photoshop CC Multi Core Performance
With hundreds of CPU models available, it can be a daunting task to determine which CPU will give you the best performance in Photoshop. In this article we will be examining the multi-threading capabilities of Photoshop CC to determine whether a CPU with a high frequency or a CPU with a high core count will give you the best possible performance.
