ProShow Gold 3.2 lets you share your slide shows in virtually any format and on any device. You can upload your shows directly to YouTube or choose from over 20 devices to directly output to including the iPod, Blackberry, ZuneTM and more. Not bad for software that runs under $70 and is optimized for eight-cores! Our benchmark testing wasn’t at 100% load the entire time, but averaged around 95% during the testing period.

Photodex Proshow Gold 3.2 Benchmark Results

Benchmark Results: Photodex Proshow software showed that having more cache and a slightly higher clock speed is that way to go and was 11% or 30 seconds fastr than the AMD Athlon 64 X2 5050e. The trusty AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ was staying right with the AMD Athlon 64 X2 5050e, which is expected as they are both 2.6GHz parts.
