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?

Most people do not need a powerful computer. That’s why most people can get along with a laptop or with just their phones. If your needs are more demanding, you need a more powerful computer. However depending on the application the needs differ. Some applications require a lot of processing power, others need a powerful GPU, others need a lot of memory.
Most people with powerful computers want them for gaming. I’m not talking about professionals here. For gaming you need a good GPU and decent RAM but video games in general do not need a lot of processing power. However since a lot of gamers see their pc build as a dick measuring competition, they get the best PC they can with no regard to their actual needs. What that person was referring to was that fact. Most people who have i9s when all they want their PC to do is game wouldn’t notice the difference if they had an i5, or to put it in another way, they can’t truly justify why they went for the i9 instead of another processor.
