Core i7-5775C CPU Review
Photoshop CC and Cinebench R15
Contents
Photoshop CC
The best way to measure the performance of a CPU is by using real programs. The problem, of course, is to create a methodology that offers precise results. For Photoshop CC we used a script named “Retouch Artist Speed Test”, which applies a series of filters to a standard image and gives the time Photoshop takes to run all of them. The results are given in seconds, so the fewer, the better.
In this test, the Core i7-5775C performed the same way of the Core i7-4770K, but was 23% faster than the FX-9590.
Cinebench R15
Cinebench R15 is based on the 3D software Cinema 4D. It is very useful to measure the performance gain given by having more than one CPU installed on the system when rendering heavy 3D images. Rendering is one area in which having more than one CPU helps considerably, because usually, rendering software recognizes several CPUs. (Cinebench, for instance, can use up to 256 CPUs.)
Since we were interested in measuring the rendering performance, we ran the CPU test, which renders a “heavy” sample image using all available CPUs or “cores” – either real or virtual – to speed up the process. The result is given as a score.
Here the Core i7-5770C obtained the same performance of the Core i7-4770K, and was 6.6% faster than the FX-9590.
