After completing my initial posting, I was troubled by the extremely long processing time taken by the 5700G CPU / A2000 GPU processing combination. I redid the tests of both systems, and also added two additional configurations using the Sliger S610 and 5700G CPU with a ITX length 3060 GPU, and also ran the 5700G APU using only its integrated graphics. Run times for the A2000 GPU were run three times to ensure more accurate time measurements. I put the mis-measurement down to my user error with limited usage of the new to me DXO software.
My original purpose for building SFF PC’s was for faster photo processing than my weak laptop could accomplish. With new camera and upgraded software I decided to finally compare the photo processing speeds of my most powerful SFF system against a low power draw SFF system and to determine the speed advantage of the more powerful system.
I had identical folders of 77 RAW OM-1 images of about 20MB each - installed both computers running identical photo processing software – DXO PhotoLab 6.
Applied adjustments were:
Standard DXO Correction (including lens)
Smart Lighting
Clear View Plus
Deep Prime
Noise Reduction – know for being quite processor intensive.
With all these corrections the highest quality JPEG’s produced each ranged in size from 28MB to 35MB.
