Adobe Performance
Adobe Photoshop CC
Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and published by Adobe Systems for macOS and Windows. To further make loading slower we have included a bunch of extra brushes that need to be loaded before the program is ready to use.
Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro is a timeline-based video editing software application developed by Adobe Systems and published as part of the Adobe Creative Cloud licensing program. To stress the CPU we have disabled GPU acceleration, and instead Premier Pro will use the CPU only.
