I read that CS5 should be 64 bit, but where does it say that CS5 would ship around the time that Sow Leopard will ship?

Ah, I didn't realize that's what the question was. I'll leave that for the other poster then. I just upgraded to CS4 a couple of weeks ago. A whole new re-architected release showing up this year is not a prediction I would be inclined to make.
CS5 Rumors
This is a bit off topic, but many rumors have surfaced about CS5 for the mac. The key is that it will not be out before Snow Leopard (10.6) makes it debut. The goal is to offer much more native 64bit applications and resources. That will exceed the 4GB memory limit as well. It appears that CS4 uses only so much resources, even if more is available. As for specific dates, CS4 has been out for about a year. On Adobe's typical dev cycle it would be Q4 of this year or early 2010. The way Snow Leopard is going, I would not be surprised if it is next year.

CS4 was released about 5 months ago on October 15, 2008. And thanks for reposting the link I provided in a prior post that you apparently couldn't be bothered to read earlier.
Look no need for flaming
In all respect Cliff, this thread was not about CS5, but rather about speedtest on Photoshop. I was just being nice to help update some people. All of this is still speculations, as no one but Adobe probably knows when CS5 is every going to get released. The only real facts that were made was after Snow Leopard, because of the advances in 64bit (ie. most of the system resources will be ported to 64bit as well) and that is critical to its performance. Also the whole Carbon to Cocoa thing as well. Oh and if you want people to look at your links, post them properly so they link to the site. Most people will miss it the way you posted it, since it requires cutting and pasting instead of just clicking on it.

I wasn't flaming, just correcting your inaccurate statements. And both the links I posted work perfectly, so I have no idea what you're talking about in that regard.
Adobe CS4
Cliff, my fault in that I have been using early versions of CS4 for almost a year now. It seems officially it is out for about 6 months or so. Still the release of CS5 is up in the air. No one really knows if it is going to come out early or late, and in fact it is looking like more late than early. As for your links, you cannot click on them. They are blacked out, and not blue HTTP links. Not sure why yours did not work.

Adobe has said many times they release update every 18-24 months so CS5, if they follow their own schedule, earliest release would be around April 2010.
I dont have photoshop for my new 2.26 mac pro. But I do have CS4 for my HP laptop. I tried to download the speedtest just to see the crazy slow time it should put up, but it looks like the one I downloaded was only for OSX. Where can I download the same test for PC?

If anyone would like to try this on a larger file, I have uploaded a snapshot taken with my 5DMKII. It's a RAW file converted to 16bit TIFF, which works out at roughly 120mb in size. Same settings as for the normal test, Same action, see what you get!

What I'm seeing is that if Photoshop is your bread and butter you have absolutely no reason to move to a new machine if you're currently working on a last-gen machine.
where did you download the test that would work on windows. I want to do the test on my Vista 32bit laptop but the one I downloaded looks like it only work on osX
am i doing something wrong??
