Personally I suspect that the real performance gains to come in PhotoShop aren't going to be from multi-thread operations in the CPU; they'll come from massively parallel operations running in GPUs with dedicated fast memory paths. Today that's only really possible with high-end graphics cards, but more and more of that functionality is going to migrate down to the midrange. It won't be long before any graphics card that you'd even consider for PhotoShop will have a hundred or more GPU cores. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
