System Builder Marathon, Q2 2014: Our Budget Gaming PC
Results: Adobe Creative Suite
Premiere Pro is well-threaded, so the gap between Intel's stock Core i3 and the Athlon X4 750K running at its default settings isn't huge. Overclocking is a big help to AMD though, allowing this quarter's cheaper PC to achieve a tie.
Our well-threaded Photoshop workload shows the overclocked Athlon in an even better light, though the OpenCL-accelerated test shifts favor back to Intel's Core i3 and the higher-end GeForce GTX 770.
Intel's advantage is also large in the After Effects and Acrobat tests. The first one tends to be memory-intensive, while the latter is decidedly a single-threaded benchmark.
