I just unboxed and installed Adobe Photoshop CS4, so I’m ready to offer some first impressions on the PC version.

Photoshop CS4 seems a lot faster than previous versions. There are many things that frustrated me in CS3 that no longer are present. In CS3, it was kind of clunky when you wanted to drag a window outside of the main Photoshop window, but in CS4 it’s quick and fluid like you would expect.

Another performance boost that I noticed is the menu system.

Right away, I noticed that the menus load immediately, and the application launches a lot quicker.

On Tuesday, October 14th, Steve Jobs announced a chipset that Apple worked on with Nvidia. It resulted in a 16-core integrated GPU that’s in both the MacBook and MacBook Pro. On Monday, Nvidia announced the desktop version of the GPU. Nvidia is calling the chips the 9300 and 9400 mGPUs as they are half the size of standard integrated graphics, but can accomplish a lot more.

While the specs aren’t included in the press release, the chips are pretty impressive. They can transfer the entirety of video decoding from the CPU to the GPU, making it work much faster. They also support Blu-Ray playback and Direct X10. Keep reading for what apps can really take advantage of these new cards.
