Video Creation/Photo Editing
Adobe Photoshop 7.0.1
Adobe Premier 6.5
Prescott seems to do quite a bit for Intel here, with the 560 and 550 easily offering better performance than the 3.4EE and 3.46EE, despite smaller caches. That being said, even the top of the line Pentium 4 560 can't outperform even the Athlon XP 3200+ in this test. While WorldBench does use an older version of Premier, it is one that is still widely used, making these results quite pertinent.
Roxio VideoWave Movie Creator 1.5
While Premier is a wonderful professional application, consumers will prefer something a little easier to use. Enter: Roxio's VideoWave Movie Creator, a fairly full featured yet consumer level video editing package.
Intel has worked very closely with Roxio in the past, thus it's no surprise to see Movie Creator take advantage of the Prescott core as best as possible. The Extreme Edition still takes the crown, but the 560 and 550 manage to keep AMD's best at bay.

Considering that Dell of all companies is playing the "Well, were starting to have second thoughts" game, I think its just a matter of time MAME.After all, it wasn't long ago that people thought AMD was going bankrupt and being bought by Intel now was it?

The ACDSee info is from the A64 FX-55 and 4000+ review, I believe.The 1ghz FSB seems delightfully useless. Maybe this was an attempt to get more people using the 925X chipset?

while AMD looks quite attractive in comparison, Intel does not have to worry about AMD for a long long time. AMD is unknown to almost the entire "average joe" market. Even if AMD had finally broke through to Dell and large businesses effectively, they simply can't produce enough chips for Intel to be effectedIceWindius - Sunday, October 31, 2004 - link
Ahhhhh AMD just keeps looking better and better. :)I WILL have a nForce 4 and AMD .90nm purring in my machine before Christmas. Half Life 2 will be pure utter buttery smoothness baby.

At this rate Intel are really going to lose favour in the eyes of....well everyone. If AMD can capitalise on this - get some aggressive marketing out they might finally be able to remove the underdog tag from there name.Just educate the masses AMD - MAKE AMD THE HOUSEHOLD NAME then nothing will stop you.

Jeez, another "so what?" release from Intel.I hope these guys can get it together enough to continue to remain competitive with AMD.

"We can only wonder what Intel is thinking."Yes, canceling Tejas and 1.2 FSB and releasing crappy chipsets. Neo CEO = New Death for a company.
AMD you can take another sigh of relief.
