D de5_Roy Distinguished Oct 14, 2011 283 0 18,960 Jan 12, 2012 #2 a core i7 (e.g. 2600) should be better than i5 (e.g. 2500) for photoshop because it has higher stock clocks and hyperthreading. they are costlier than core i5 cpus, though. this is from tom's sandy bridge launch review: http/www.tomshardware.com/reviews/sandy-bridge-core-i7-2600k-core-i5-2500k,2833-15.html Upvote 0 Downvote

xPhaze Honorable Dec 15, 2012 13 0 10,570 Dec 18, 2012 #6 I'm pretty sure Photoshop's biggest performance factor is RAM, not processor. I've used even a Pentium (4 or equivalent?) with Photoshop CS6 and it ran perfectly, but even 4GB of RAM gave me issues when working with high-resolution files. Upvote 0 Downvote
