Opteron Vs G5 (bi 2ghz) it's the problem which tortures my brain now.

It's not again a battle mac vs pc but i think is time to test speed in real situation ... the speed for create image not the speed of cpu :-)

the test on this site is very good but with xeon

and psbench is not "real test" just filter (not test the performance for ram gestion when swapping ... before work on windows i work whith macOs seems to do a beter job with ram and swapping gestion i don't know if is real?)

I have see a lot of psbench for photoshop 7.01 but for CS not (i know CS is slow on both platform) I'm a very intensive photoshop user big picture 20 or 30 layer .... big file !

On adobe forum i read very dissatisfied pocessor of opteron (photoshop CS very slow) (www.adobe.com forum photoshop windows search "opteron")

I give you some link about mac and windows performance

ps bench
Here is a side by side comparison.the whole point of PSBench is not "real world usage", nor is it "common operations"
