Intel Ultra and ARC for Photoshop

Yep Mike. I need both! Complex Spice circuit analyses can take ages to converge on modest CPUs. Most Spice type circuit simulators nowadays make use of multi-threading. I'm starting to lean towards an Intel Ultra9 with perhaps a dedicated GPU - eg MSI Prestige 14 AI Studio C1V with Ultra 9 processor 185H and GeForce RTX4060.

I was just curious to see if anyone here had experience of the ARC GPU on a Ultra & ot Ultra 9.

BUMP- Does anyone have an Ultra 7 or 9 laptop with integrate ARC graphics such as ASUS UX3405 ZenBook 14 OLED, 2880x1800, Ultra 9 185H, 32GB LPDDR5X RAM, 1TB SSD, Intel ARC Graphics?


If you do,  can you please download Puget bench  https://www.pugetsystems.com/pugetbench/creators/ and report the results? 

I've run it on:-

My desktop - score 8800

12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900KS
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080
64GB (2x32GB) 4800MHz
Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
ProArt Z690-CREATOR WIFI

my friend's Dell laptop XPS 15 9530 score 6397

13th Gen Intel Core i7-13700H
Intel Iris Xe Graphics
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU
32GB (2x16GB) 4800MHz
Microsoft Windows 11 Pro

My Dell 5510 mobile workstation - score 1661 (oh dear)

Intel Xeon CPU E3-1505M v5 @ 2.80GHz
NVIDIA Quadro M1000M
Intel HD Graphics P530
16GB (2x8GB) 2133MHz
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro


I want to replace the ageing Dell 5510 with something lighter, smaller and much faster.

I've a ASUS UX3405 ZenBook 14 OLED, 2880x1800, Ultra 9 185H, 32GB LPDDR5X RAM, 1TB SSD, Intel ARC Graphics arriving today, mostly because it's compact and light for travel, but reasonably powerful. No doubt not as quick as a dedicated GPU but cheaper and more portable.I'll post PugetBenck results next week.

For anyone interested, my new ultra portable (spec above) laptop archived a Puget Photoshop bench mark of 4880. That's good for something lacking a dedicated GPU.

Stevenikon that Asus looks like a very attractive proposition.

Lenovo V15 This will be ideal. Have had my Lenovo with a similar spec for 4 years and it was nearly £300 more. Looks like great value.

I'd taken an educated 'risk' here, asked for folks experience here. However, it's a new model so I guess no one had tested one. I'm very pleased with the size, weight, cost Vs performance.
