Eli5: How are i5 processors able to compete with i9 processors

1.19K viewsOtherTechnology

I always thought bigger number = better in the terms of pc components. Recently ive learned i5s can compete with i9s. I saw a post one day that said “i could replace your processors with i3’s and almost none of you would even notice”

How does this work?

cause there is single core power that is the same on all processors (of the same generation ofc). the difference that i9 gives is that it has more cores. some apps CAN’T use more than 1 core. it’s all the same.

if you have 1 horse vs 10 horses together and the cart only supports one horse then the other 9 horses are just idle.
