Adobe’s Principal Product Manager for Adobe Photoshop, John Nack, has just posted performance improvement benchmarks for Photoshop CS5 on 64bit on a Mac, using a 2 x 2.66GHz quad-core Nehalem Mac Pro with 12GB of RAM (OS X 10.6.3)
As always, your mileage may vary.
It is unbelievably faster, i have a quad core and cs4 used to be so slow after i got 2 like 150 layers. CS5???? Smh, itss sooo fasttt and niccee
I’m running CS5 on a fast system, and it really flies compared to any previous version that I’ve worked with.
Glad you’re getting so much wheeeee! out of it too!
