Hi

I know the i7 would technically be better for photoshop but would the difference truely be worth the almost £100 price hike?

Don't get me wrong with money to burn and for truely high level stuff im sure it is fine but im talking non-proffessional (yet still heavy) usage.
 
As you said it will be better but the 4670k will do just fine on PhotoShop.

Personally id only go to the 4770k if I was video editing (heavy).

PhotoShop does recognise threaded cores now, though the maim focus is still core speed. So a good over clock will do wonders. :)

Indeed.

But surely you must realize how pointless it is to say get the FX83, to post a result it loses on about said software package?

In reviews it's actually a power house in Photoshop as a whole.... some tests the Intel chips win but overall the FX has more consistent performance.

But, isn't Photoshop GPU accelerated anyway?
 
GPU mainly helps with redraw operations, rather than actual work.

If your using CC

The features that are OpenCL enabled are:
•Video Panorama
•Blur Gallery (Iris, Field, and Tilt-shift Blur)

You don't need a particularly powerful GPU.

Most general use will only use 1 core so the i5 will be better, only heavily threaded filters and other intensive operations are likely to perform better on the FX 8320/8350. Though I've not seem many benchmarks where the FX 8320/8350 wins.

For the vast majority of people using PS the i5 would be the better option.
