1. Re: CS5 interesting benchmarks
DVDmike Apr 21, 2010 6:44 AM (in response to Scott Chichelli)Argh! Just when I thought that I had enough memory specked out at 12GB. I figured that at least for AE, that more would be better. But for PPro I thought 12GB would have been plenty...

DVDmike Apr 21, 2010 10:47 AM (in response to Bill Gehrke)I think that I am going to stick with 12GB for now. I just dont want to spend that much right now...

Harm Millaard Apr 21, 2010 10:49 AM (in response to DVDmike)Sensible choice, especially since the timings of these sticks are not optimal.

5. Re: CS5 interesting benchmarks
DVDmike Apr 21, 2010 11:23 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)What are ideal timing values for RAM? I am pretty ignorant about this. (Scott, sorry to hijack your thread)

Harm Millaard Apr 22, 2010 8:43 AM (in response to Scott Chichelli)Scott,
Regarding benchmarks, a beta version of CS5 used to test the http://ppbm4.com benchmark came up with 23.3 seconds (without MPE), while under CS4 it was 38.0 seconds under equal conditions. Nearly 40% performance increase and far outranking Bill's result with the i7-980X.
Bill and I are busy working on a new version of the benchmark using actual footage in different HD formats and including a H.264 test to reflect your earlier comments.

Scott Chichelli Apr 22, 2010 8:48 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)very cool and yes we have noticed some nice improvements with CS5
what we are focusing on is 285 vs Quadro
and HDDs all with CS5 not a 4 to 5 compare.
and superb news about the new tests... i would much rather we all used the same benchmark

Bill Gehrke Apr 23, 2010 9:51 AM (in response to Scott Chichelli)Harm's Beta CS5 benchmark with PPBM4 is now posted! WOW! And all that improvement without a CUDA graphics card so when we see the Mercury Playback Engine additional improvement is sure to appear. Adobe must have hired a great multithreading expert/team. Congratulations Adobe. It must have hurt the disk performance slightly, but that is small peanuts. It reduced his MPEG encoding time from 24.6 seconds under CS4 to 6.4 seconds in CS5, almost 200% faster!
Yes there probably will be a new PPBM5 and if and when it appears, it will include H.264 Blu-ray encoding and it will also have an AVCHD segment. Since I do not have CS5, you may have to wait awhile.

DVDmike Apr 23, 2010 2:06 PM (in response to Bill Gehrke)Thanks for all of you and Harm's work on this. It sounds like good news. Lets release CS5 now!
