Just goes to show how poorly optimised Premier is, you would think Adobe would be trying to make there software faster by embracing new tech like heavily multicored processors.
Pretty much, poor software levelling the playing field I think. People say it has an intel bias but i'm not convinced it's really much better on that side of the fence either. I think it's fair to say though that no single company seems to run away with massive performance gains over the other in the adobe suite. Subtle differences here and there but overall broadly comparable. where one does win out it's generally by single digits percentage wise so probably not worth splitting hairs over.
