Is the Intel Core i5-4200U Processor fast enough for Photoshop CS4 &/or Photoshop CC?

Here is a link to the processor specs: http://ark.intel.com/products/75459/ Computer system also has 8GB of RAM. Thanks!

There is a difference between will it work and will it perform well. Adobe post the minimal system requirements for an application for they want to make as many sales as they can. You will also fine post on recommend system configurations for types of processing. For Example"

Yes, if it has at least 2 GBs of installed RAM.

Is The Intel HD Graphics 4000 And The Intel Core i3-3110M Processor Good For Premier?

Dear Forums Members,
Latley I've been looking for a laptop that can fit my video edting needs + some office work. What i need from Premier is the abilty to edit SD quality videos, my budget is not that high ( + I live in Israel where everything is more expesnive ).
I've been thinking about the Lenovo IdeaPad G500 5938-9998 wich comes with a Intel® Core™ i3-3110M Processor and Intel® HD Graphics 4000 and 4GB RAM and 500GB Sata (5400RPM) Hard Drive.
My Quastion is: will it be ok to edit SD videos in premier 6 or 5? and if not, wich premier IS good for this specific computer?
Thanks ahead, Jonathan.

Jonathan, If you mean the old Premiere 6 or Premiere 5, then those versions of Premiere are extremely old and severely outdated. In fact, Premiere 6 was released before Windows XP even came out. As such, you may have serious trouble running Premiere 6 (not to be confused with Premiere Pro CS6) on newer versions of Windows such as Windows 7 or Windows 8.x.
On the other hand, if you mean Premiere Pro CS6 or CS5.x, then that planned laptop is too weak to handle much of anything (video editing related), especially since that i3-3110M CPU is only a dual-core CPU that's capped at 2.4GHz and that CS6/5 does not support GPU acceleration for any non-Nvidia or any integrated GPUs. As such, I second the responses suggesting the cheapo consumer version of Premiere, Premiere Elements (the current release is 12.0).

Can the intel core 2 duo processor be changed and upgraded to 2.5 ghz

can the processing chips be upgraded on the imac 1.7ghz model??

You can't upgrade processors or video cards on Mac's (MacPro if you can find one that is)
Only the RAM and in some machines the hard drive, that's it.

Is there a noticable difference between G5 and Intel Core 2 Duo-processor?

Just wondering...
I have a G5 iMac and came across the Intel Core 2 Duo-processor 24" 2.66GHz. Will I notice a big difference between these 2 models?
André

I swapped from a G5 2.1MHz iSight with 2.5GB RAM to 2009 iMac 24" 2.66 MHz with 4GB of DDR3.
The difference was HUGE.
Now with Snow Leopard as well things have only got faster (or appear to at least)
The whole system is more responsive, less spinning beach ball and rendering a 40 minute TV programme to MP4 only takes about 2 minutes!
I used to have time to make a cup of coffee and catch the news headlines!
Enjoy the new machine.

Is there a difference between the Intel Core 2 Duo & the Intel Core Duo?

I am looking to buy a new laptop, and I wanted to know if there is a big or major difference between the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, compared to the Intel Core Duo.
I currently have a powerbook G4 and it has a 1.67 GHz PowerPC G2 Processor, which I have noticed isn't that great, I can't download the new snow leopard software update, nor watch movies from Netflex and other stuff like that. Its pretty annoying, so that is why I was asking about the difference between the other two processors, I want to know if it doesn't matter or which one is the best before I buy.
I'm pretty computer dumb when it comes to this stuff that's why I'm asking.
Thanks in Advance.

Core 2 Duo processors are newer and more powerful (and thus faster) than Core Duos. Apple's current notebook computers all use Core 2 Duos, so if you buy new, that's what you'll get. The earliest MacBooks and MacBook Pros had Core Duos in them, but the last of those models was discontinued late in 2006.

W530 Intel Core i7-3720QM processor and tweaking?

1: Is there any knowledge of specific problems with the:
Intel Core i7-3720QM processor (6M Cache) on the W530's that prompted Lenovo to eliminate this processor from
the processors available now?
The tech said that IBM elected to go with better processors, but it seems to me, that there must be some reasoning behind "the better."
Curious about the experience others are having with their W530's equipped with such, please.
2: Also, the Technical aspects, taken from the: W530 Tech Specs page... clearly states that the aforementioned processor IS: 3.60 GHz. Nothing there about UP TO.
My W530 runs at 2.60 GHz... according to my System specifics.
When I asked the salesman about this, he just told me that the technical department can tweak it up to 3.60 GHz..
which will drain the battery life..And that is why it was not set above 2.60 GHz when shipped to me.
I would like to know other's thoughts about this tweaking of this processor.
I need the machine for photo manipulation and for website involvement. I usually have a few+ windows open at one time.
I want to tell you that I am not computer savvy at all (I imagine that is plainly seen.)
I am: a 67 year old jeweler in my wintering years who, frankly, does not know how to deal with the stress of all of these computer problems I am having with this WHEW... and, at the same time... trying to figure all of this out with your help.
Lastly, I want to say that I am very grateful for the help you give me. I sincerely am.
As all artists of my age... I am in a rush to concretely have mattered in my field,.. while I still have time. That is about all I am good for... and at.
Thank you, sincerely, for your time, know that I shall always be appreciative of it.

W530: Intel Core i7-3720QM processor (6M Cache); NVDIA Quadro K1000M Graphics with 2GB DDR Memory:
8 GB DDR-1600MHZ (2 DIMM); 500GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200pm; FHD 1920 x 1080; Windows 8 Pro

Intel has a (rather technical) explanation on Turbo Boost: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/turbo-boost/turbo-boost-technolog...
I have a W530 with the 3720M, and am completely happy with it.

I have an iMac and a MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo processors. I realize that this is within the stated requirements for Lion. However was wondering if by migrating to Lion this will result in too much demand on processor resources, thus a slower machine

I have an iMac and a MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo processors. I realize that this is within the stated requirements for Lion. However was wondering if by migrating to Lion this will result in too much demand on processor resources, thus a slower machine than using Snow Leopard?

Which iMac? Which Macbook? Both have had several model
itertations, even within the framework of a Core2Duo processor.
With that said, I have an early 2009 iMac 24", with 2.66 GHz
Core2Duo with 8 gig of RAM, and in my opinion, seems to be running
smoother and faster with Lion.

I have an iMac purchased new about 5 years ago with OS 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade to Lion. I currently have a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of ram. Can I upgrade to Lion, and what is the best way to do so?

From what I read here:
http://www.tuaw.com/2011/06/06/lion-...u-2-gb-of-ram/
s long as they already have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed in it.All a person needs to do with that type of iMac is to upgrade/max out their Ram. They claim that an Interl iMac with Core 2 Duo is all that is needed, as long as it has OS 10.6.8 installed. They say you don`t need the "Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor"
But I wonder about the RAM speed, the iMac 2.33Ghz uses DDR2 SDRAM, which I believe is rated at 667Mhz. Lion maybe installed but it might be problems running smoothly or not?
Did some quick checking and the iMacs apple is selling this year use 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM.
The only thing to do is to make sure you have a good back-up, Install your RAM and install Snow Leo, then wait a couple of hours and install Lion.
Good Luck

I have a old 2006 modle macbook 15 inch the A1150 i believe with core duo processor can change or replace that with a intel core duo 2 processor ?

it,s a 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo
memory 2 GB 533 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
is there some kind of way i can upgrade that to a Intel Core Duo 2 processor
or is it just a batle i cant win ?

You should be able to get a used or repaired MacBook 13/15-inch core2duo 2.0+GHz near
$350 or so, in working condition with some kind of limited warranty or guaranty. Companies
like macsales, wegenermedia, powerbookmedic, powermax and others offer previously
owned Macs that are not current models. Older, to vintage or obsolete; those who some-
times have the better deal on those also can repair most all Macs and have parts.
The effort to swap out a logic board (and then what? the
other parts likely won't match) isn't hardly worth the effort.
You may be able to find an early MacBook (circa 2006 to 2010 era) that needs minor work,
and troubleshoot/repair it with a DIY guide online... But that can be a gamble if you mess
up things that were not wrong in the first place, while learning on the job. It could cost plenty.
Some companies can sell you used parts, no guarantees on matching an incorrect logic
board with a diffferent build model spec computer's other original configuration. You'd do
better if you found someone selling their old MacBook Core2Duo, nearby, & could see it run.
I have a MacBook 13-inch coreduo 1.83GHz first-edition; an early core2duo won't do much
more than the coreduo. Snow Leopard is better than Lion in several ways; if you have older
software you already own that works, from the PowerPC era -- that can save you money.
Good luck in any event, & happy computing!

You need minimally Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor vs 1.5 Ghz Power Pc G4

I have a Powerbook G4 15 and am considering switching to the Air. Can anyone tell me the magnitude of the performance increase between these two? 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor vs 1.5 Ghz Power Pc G4

Mucho faster!
Seriously though, if you get the 1.8 SSD it will be like greased lightning compared to the PowerBook G4. I still have an old 1.25GHz PowerBook G4 for my son that the case got cosmetically damaged on (though it still runs fine). There's no comparison, the MBA just blows it away in every measurement. I would say boot time is at least 5x faster. Apps launch 5x faster and general app execution is probably around 4x faster.
And the screen is much better too!
