Photoshop CS4 Retouch Artists Speed Test

A must-have tool for all photographers and graphics designers, Adobe Photoshop allows you to create wonders out of poorly taken photos. Retouch Artist Speed Test is used to test performance of processors. A small Action Script does a lot of layer and effect work on test image and it manages to produce some good multithreading load on processor cores.

Ahead of X4 965 and on par with i5 750 is more like performance that is expected from 1055T, no complaints here.

Cinebench R10 64bit

3D rendering tools are also used to test CPU performance. Cinebench R10, Blender and POV Ray simulate real world performance with integrated benchmark scripts. 3D rendering has been Intel's home ground for a long time, but AMD is making progress with its new models and is not that far behind Intel's processors.

Just like Phenom II X6 1090T gave Intel some beating in the next three benchmarks, so does the Phenom II X6 1055T. Simply put, if you're working in a multithreading environment - get a six pack.
