PS optimized for AMD or Intel? 9900K or 3900X

[Despotes]

Is PS faster with higher speed or more cores? I'm debating between a 9900K or 3900X for my next system upgrade from my 7700K.
Thanks

Nobody knows if PSP is optimized for higher core count or simply a faster clocked speed?

Looks like it, since you have given the forum 1-1/2 days. You might try asking Corel tech support -- Corel itself. Be prepared to find out they don't know either -- it's my impression PSP has always relied on the OS. While you are waiting on a response from Corel, you might try looking up PSP on Wikipedia. Although much of the directory structure goes back to when PSP was a JASC product, IIRC Corel bought another app and turned it into PSP.

I contacted tech support and he apparently didn't have a clue. He said, "Regarding your concern, Your CPU can maximize the performance of Paintshop Pro. No need to overclock it." I asked him again telling him he didn't answer my question and his 2nd reply was exactly the same as his first. It's like talking to a robot.

Firstly this is a PSP forum. Not Photoshop.

So it really depends which product you are asking about, but since PSP is barely multithreaded I susoect it the Intel that you're after.

I never said Photoshop.

PS is traditionally the abbreviation for Photoshop. PSP for PaintShop Pro. That's why they thought you were asking about Photoshop.
