Intel Pentium processors specs

Sep 12, 2012 8:20 AM

The specs call for: Intel® Pentium® 4 or AMD Athlon® 64 processor. Does anyone know if that means that other Intel processors like:  2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i3 Processor, 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i5 Processors, etc. are qualified? i.e. are they faster than the Pentiums -- and/or are they fine for running CS or does it need to actually be a "Pentium" processor? Thanks!

    Thanks Bob, but really my question is are those Intel processors listed work also or does it need to be an actual  "Pentium processor" -- are those others more recent version of Intel processors and are OK for running CS? Make sense?

    On behalf of Adobe ...

     

    All Intel processors newer than the Pentium 4 processors (including all the Core and Xeon processors) are compatible where Pentium 4 is specified as the minimum requirement.

     

    OK?

    Thanks Dov. I assumed as much but trying to find the best cost solution for my granddaughter who wants to move into graphic design.

    Don’t cheap out. Core i5 with 16 gigs or RAM would be my recommendation with a 64 bit operating system.
