Puget Systems is best known in the workstation scene for its specially customized high-performance PCs, which are tailored to the requirements of creative professionals, engineers and scientists. In addition to the hardware, the company has created its own benchmark portfolio with the so-called PugetBenches, which are not based on synthetic workloads but are executed directly in real applications. The tasks range from basic activities such as image scaling, cropping or layer operations to more complex functions such as smart filters, camera raw or automated batch processing. GPU-accelerated features such as Blur Gallery or transformation filters are also included, so that both CPU and GPU performance are included in the overall rating.
The result of the benchmark is made up of several partial values that separately record performance in general tasks, GPU-accelerated effects and memory-intensive operations. From this, an overall score is formed, which allows direct comparability between systems. The advantage for the user is that the results are based on real behavior within Photoshop and not on simplified scenes or synthetic tests.
By running this benchmark, users get a quantitative value that reflects the performance of their hardware in relation to Photoshop. This is especially useful for professionals or enthusiasts who want to make sure their hardware configuration is optimized for working in Photoshop. Each individual task is run a total of three times, with the fastest result being used to determine the final score. A complete run should take about 15-30 minutes, but may vary depending on the performance of the system. It is definitely impossible to test everything in Photoshop, but this benchmark is designed to test a wide range of tasks to get an accurate overall picture.
General tasks:
- open 18MP .CR2 RAW image
- scale to 500MB*
- rotate
- select with magic wand
- Mask refinement
- Bucket fill
- Gradient
- content-based fill
- save .PSD file and open .PSD file.
Filter tasks:
- Camera Raw filters
- Lens correction
- Noise reduction
- intelligent sharpening*
- Field blur
- Tilt-shift blur
- Iris blur
- adaptive wide angle
- Liquefy
Overall score
In the overall score, the Intel Arc Pro B50 comes out on top with 13,506 points, followed by the Radeon Pro W7500 with 12,758 points and the RTX A1000 with 12,397 points. Intel thus demonstrates the best overall integration of GPU performance, memory bandwidth and driver optimization in Photoshop.
General Score
The General Score combines basic activities such as layer operations, cropping or transformations. Here, the Arc Pro B50 leads with 138 points, just ahead of the W7500 with 135 points, while the RTX A1000 is slightly behind with 131 points. There are differences, but they are less noticeable in everyday use.
Filter score
The GPU-accelerated filters, such as the Blur Gallery or Camera Raw, place higher demands on shaders and bandwidth. Here, the Arc Pro B50 achieves 133 points, well ahead of the W7500 with 121 points and the RTX A1000 with 117 points. Those who use filter workflows intensively will benefit from Intel’s architecture.
File Open
The time factor is crucial when opening files. The Arc Pro B50 takes just 0.9 seconds, the W7500 1.1 seconds and the A1000 1.2 seconds. These values make it clear that fast memory interfaces and efficient handling of large files bring measurable benefits.
Conclusion
In the Photoshop PugetBench, the Intel Arc Pro B50 shows clear dominance in all partial values. It impresses with the highest overall score, especially in GPU-accelerated filters and when loading large files. The AMD Radeon Pro W7500 keeps up solidly, while the NVIDIA RTX A1000 lags somewhat behind in comparison. For image editors who work heavily with layers, filters and high-resolution files, the Arc Pro B50 is currently the strongest choice.
