Lightroom Denoise

[Geo C]

Just upgraded to Lightroom Classic 12.3 and there is now a one touch 'DENOISE' button (presume it is new haven't noticed it before). Is this the end of Topaz Denoise?? Or is Topaz still better?

David, not sure I agree with your statement concerning the GPU and ADOBE. I can hear my GPU kickoff when LR needs it, especially when processing the AI DENOISE.

It does not seem to be hitting the GPU as hard as Topaz does. Given the speed difference between the two it is still clear that Adobe has gone for the 80/20 rule of software development which is develop 80%, release it as a finished product and then maybe finish development through support cases or not at all.
