dual core processors and RAW processing

dual-core processors look they they will be the next big thing for photographers. The performance gains coming out of the new line of dual-core processors are amazing.

I'd like to see some benchmarks of Nikon Capture as well. I noticed that at least NC 4.2.1 takes advantage of both processors on my Dual G5. It would be interesting to see a batch NEF -> TIFF conversion benchmark for Capture on the dual core system they were testing on.

Had to search long and hard for this one,

Does anyone have any benchmarks on NC4 using AMD dual core?

The important thing to consider here is whether or not your software can take advantage of dual core technology. Noise Ninja can take advantage of it (its a threaded application, in other words) - I'm not sure about the others.

The point is, you'll see performance gains over a single core PC if the software you're using has been built to be dual core aware.

with 3Gb of ram on an XP box....rips through D2X files like a chainsaw through butter.

LOLOL!!!

Silkypix recognises and uses dual core or dual processors. I run dual 3.6 Xeons, 2 Gb ram and both Silkypix and PS fly.

They are supposed to be released shortly and blow away all existing cpu's. Before overclocking....

Does NX take advanatge of dual core?
