He’s trying to decide which machine would work best for his friend’s Christmas photo project. The first setup has 4GB RAM and an AMD A8 7650K processor, while the second has 6GB RAM and an Intel i5 5200U with built-in graphics.

Intel processor with 6GB memory, improved CPU performance and additional RAM—key factors for efficient Photoshop use.

Both configurations will include integrated graphics. If you're concerned about heavy layers, the AMD chip should help more than just adding another 2GB of RAM. However, a bigger memory size still offers benefits.

He intends to work with roughly three to four layers, emphasizing the need for a polished look because clients are willing to pay for professional photography.

Both should manage 3 to 4 layers without trouble, and when I mention many layers, I mean a few dozen.

Man, that's not great. If he's just doing light tweaks, AMD could improve a bit (and adding more RAM helps), but building a full desktop would be better. Neither option is impressive. Check this out if he's really committed to one: http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/81/AMD_...5200U.html

he intended to install a fresh skylake setup following the holidays, and he has also placed an additional order for 4 gigabytes of RAM for the AMD platform, expected to be delivered shortly.

Only with AMD's integrated graphics you can boost many operations in Photoshop
