Dual Core AMD Opteron CPU Review at Firing Squad
Firing Squad have reviewed the new Dual Core AMD Opteron CPU. I’m sure you’re thinking that doesn’t sound too exciting, but they review it from a photography point of view, testing programs such as Capture One, Bibble and Noise Ninja.
“In my article, I explain why the future of computing is with multiple CPUs and test a 2x dual core Opteron with real-world benchmarks including a suite of digital photography tests. The dual Dual-Core AMD Opteron was so fast processing RAWs with Bibble 4.2.2 that I repeated the test five times to make sure something wasn’t amiss. Turns out, it really was that fast. Processing 1GB of Canon EOS-20D images took just 4 minutes.”
