i5 over 8350, I've looked in benchmarks for another guy that wanted photo editing rig

Posted

Just wondering - Would a stock 8350 perform better than an i5 4460 in photo editing? Looking to build a rig for a friend.

There'll probably be a GTX 760 on it for Cuda acceleration and OpenGL acceleration. 

Would it make much of a difference in adding effects to 50MB Picture files?

Hmm...I thinks it's worth looking at benchmarks for what you're asking. They can help you out a lot.

Do you know what program they'll be using?

My dad uses lightroom and he said that his experience was improved when I overclocked his cpu, and again when I added more memory to his system.

I just upgraded from an i5 to and i7 and notice alot faster editing in Lightroom. So you may want to go with the i5 for now, and he can always upgrade later.

Have you considered an AMD kaveri? It rocks at open CL stuff like photoshop.

I don't, unfortunately. I'm stuck with the 8350 or the 4460. Obviously the 4460 can't be OCed but if I want an aftermarket cooler for the 8350 it'll add to the cost of the build.

Also, it's for a friend, so I want it to be as stable as possible.

hmm i guess above 4 cores the scaling isn't that great, right? :/

True! Thanks :)

I have, and it'll be great if it's only for photo editing, but he wants to do gaming, too. So I'd prefer a CPU+dedicated GPU combo (also, with the release of the Athlon X4 860k, getting a CPU plus an R7 250 would give better overclocking headroom as well as better performance.

Damn, you're right lol G3258 overclocked is pretty much on par with i5 for photo editing xD But when it's about video, now it's scale but not for photo editing stuff.

Don't believe Veil, A10 and FX-8350 shit in their pants vs the G3258 which is double the performance of AMD ones xD

Man, when G3258 released every tech youtubers were stocked on it and I was like nah, no interest I'm all about i7 but that processor is a "%$&*/%&% (how many letters are in the word fucking?) beast for 70$.

I think so, but I don't like having only 2 cores... It seems that in the future with multithreading it won't perform so well, and Z97 boards are expensive :x

I think I'll get the 4460 or whatever else fits in his budget, with a H81 board.

I built my wife a cheap AMD FX system and it was painful to watch her work in Ps, gave away the FX and built her a proper i5-4690k. Ps files into the 1GB+ range are now staggeringly fast. Only way the 8350 would make sense is if they were doing a large amount of video editing/encoding and couldn't afford an i7.

I am heavy photo editor. Intel over AMD all day, all night. For editing i5 will be good, but for exproting pictures i7 or Xeon will benefit (Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop)
