Quad-Core MacBook Pro vs Quad-Core iMac: Photoshop CS5 Speedtest

2011-05-21
what's up guys Jonathan here with TLD got a photoshop cs5 speed test a little quick one between the two thousand eleven quad core macbook pro spectat two point three gigahertz four gigs of ram and the 2011 quad core imac spectat 3.4 gigahertz with four gigs of ram so the high end of high-end models were going head-to-head now if you guys want to play along at home you guys got photoshop i will post a link down below where you can download the script and the photo so the first thing we're going to do is open up the photo once that's open i'm gonna use a little exposé action so we get back to that folder containing the script go to double click that open up however you want to do that we're going to go up to window and select actions to make sure that's viewable we're going to head over to the right and we're going to select button mode now the final step is we're going to head down to the picture right here and we're going to select timing you guys going to click that that's going to count down the time of how long the script take so once we do that we can you head over to the script part and go ahead and engage that now what you guys are seeing right now we're going to do the macbook pro first again to suspect out at two point three gigahertz this is a quad core Core i7 model with four gigs of ram and an AMD radeon 6750 em standing from mobile 1 gigabyte video card now there are four physical cores in this macbook pro but because of hyper threading the OS will actually see and utilize this as a thread so you got for physical another for virtual on top of that so this thing is going to scream we're just about done let's go and see how it fares and clocked in at twenty six point six seconds not too shabby let's go to jump onto the imac and see how that does no animals were harmed during the filming that sound effect it's going to engage this test now keep in mind these are down scale from the original resolutions the imac comes in at 2560 x 1440 as opposed to the macbook pro with the high res that comes at 1680 x 1050 and the standard resolution of 1440 x 900 obviously if you step up to the 17-inch you can get the full 1920 x 1200 resolution and we're just about done with this test that clocks in at 21 seconds so that's actually to me is a significant improvement from the macbook pro it's going to save you time to most people that might not matter so it really comes down to whether you need mobility or if you can keep it at home obviously you're gonna get faster performance and a much bigger screen real estate so I do a more in-depth review kind of very soon hopefully you guys enjoyed this video if you guys want to play along let me know your results down below check out our two latest videos as always feel free to subscribe and I will catch you guys later you
