After Effects CS4
Contents
After Effects is a very well-known program for video post-production, to add animation and visual effects in videos. To evaluate the performance of each CPU running this program, we ran a workload consisting of a number of compositions that applied several filters and effects to a variety of input file types such as PSD (Photoshop), AI (Illustrator), EPS and TIF. After each filter was applied, the composition was rendered to an uncompressed AVI file with the same resolution as the input files. The results below are the times each CPU took to finish the whole batch, given in seconds, so the lower the number the better.
On After Effects CS4, the A8-5600K was 9% faster than the Pentium G2120, but the Core i3-2100 was 10% faster than this new APU from AMD. The A8-5600K achieved the same performance level as the A10-5800K and was 7% faster than the A8-3870K and 9% faster than the A8-3850.
