mike21 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Affinity runs slowly on my 5 year old computer with a 3.2GHz 2 core processor. The slot will take a 4 core 2.83GHz processor. All of my software except Affinity is old so would presumably run around 10% slower with a quad core processor but would Affinity run significantly faster with double the number of cores.

Staff Lee D Posted October 25, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 25, 2018 Affinity uses the CPU for most of it's processing, the more cores available the better performance you should get out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike21 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Thanks. What sort of percentage improvement in say developing raw image with double the number of cores time be - would it offset the 10% speed reduction of older programs due to its 10% lower clock speed.

Staff Lee D Posted October 26, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 26, 2018 As each system will have a different setup and processes running it will be hard estimate what the difference will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
