I'm a photographer and do slight video editing. I upgraded to Ryzen from a 4 core Xeon and everything is faster. It saves me time.
I imagine a 16/32 would save tons of time to video editors.

how is performance defined

>>60664012
Look at how the 6850k gets btfoed in photomerge, and gen. actions.

>>60664012
lol it's that benchmark spammer. He's back again.
>>60664114
He doesn't even know himself. He just reposts cherrypicked benchmarks from other sites.

>Photoshop
>implying Adobe garbage was ever optimized

Try benchmarking photographic software like Capture One, Affinity Photo, AutoPano Giga, and Agisoft Photoscan Pro

>>60664118
It's because Photoshop is very poorly optimized for multiple cores. It hasn't been seriously updated by Adobe in years.

Each core is around 25% performance increase

>>60664012
hdr is a tacky meme only amateurs do, and even so, less than 0.00001% of the whole process.

photomerge is even less useful.

i dont, i use a venue pro 11 with an m processor as my main computer

What's a good laptop for photo editing anyways?

Why not an external LCD?

Has that connected to his desktop, which for some reason he rarely uses. I don't think it would even support 4k causes it's a phenom system with a 4 series radeon as the graphics card.

I'm feeling like the best solution is to get some sort of used laptop with a top tier screen like a macbook pro retina, add a 500gb ssd and he should be fine.

>Why is /g/ obsessed with huge core count processors?
Because that's AMD's only "advantage" right now so they're desperately trying to make it seem relevant despite 90% of desktop apps being single threaded

>>60666000
damn i always get 666 gets

>>60666143
Arma3 and dorf fortress are not the only desktop apps left in earth.

>>60666151
Games are not desktop applications. I'm talking real programs

>>60666170
Real programs are mulththreads at least to a degree. Begone, Ghost of NetBurst.

>>60666198
>Real programs are mulththreads at least to a degree
Nope. not for 90% of workload.
Try it yourself. Opening a huge textfile in your favorite editor, or apply a filter to a large spreadsheet document, or run a loop in CMD.

>>60666285
Those are very specific examples of heavily single threaded tasks, and one is I/O bound. The other is mostly memory bound. The thing is that with more cores, you can do more of that shit at once rather than just do one of those things slightly faster.

>>60666315
>Those are very specific examples of heavily single threaded tasks
No, those are extremely common programs that happened to be the first 3 that I thought of.
>one is I/O bound
Not with SSD
>you can do more of that shit at once
How often are you actively doing more than 4 things in the same 5 seconds?

>>60666377
>How often are you actively doing more than 4 things in the same 5 seconds?
Like, all the damn time. Don't even have to pay attention to it. You can just leave whatever running in the background and know that you won't run out of CPU. Heavily single threaded tasks might run slightly slower. I don't care much. It's never been noticeable.

>>60666099
Why would you need 4k? Macbook Retina is not necessarily good for photo editing, ask his opinion about this.

They'll never learn.

>>60665980
Seriously this shit is ridiculous

Cores mean so little for most programs

>>60666438
Most programs are interactive though, so only use meaningful amounts of CPU when they're actually actively being used. It's usually just one or two processes using most CPU, with the rest basically waiting and using a minimal amount.

webm is huge on 4chan. I make several of them every day. more cores means faster shitposting

My i3 king of corelet still has better single thread, and therefore general non multitasking performance than your Ryzen TrheadRipper XDBBQ SMT Infinity Fabric™ snake oil don't forget to buy fast ram that probably wont work edition 69 core.
