Lightroom has a single core CPU bottleneck, multisocket is pointless for the this use case.

The rest is on the GPU

I suspected that, but what's with the monstrous 8 core thing then? Couldn't you equally overclock a 4 core CPU and save hundreds of dollars?

Basically, is the whole article just nonsense? :)

Absolute nonsense.

This stinks of a cross between attempting to do PR and having someone who didn't make a spending decision justify it.

As I said elsewhere, the place to improve is in their human workflows, or there is no improvement to get.
