For as long as we can remember enthusiasts around the world have been keen to see how their systems perform with many commercially available benchmarks from such companies as Futuremark. While these applications are extremely useful to a wide audience sometimes it can be helpful to focus on a ‘real world’ application which many of us use on an almost daily basis.

You can get the KitGuru Photoshop Benchmark 1(4) here. Please note lower times are better as this means less time is taken by the system to process the commands.

As Photoshop rarely makes use of more than two cores,  the i5 660 performs very well even when comapred to quad core processors like the i5-750.  So a time of 582.7 seconds is very reasonable.
