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?
In: Technology
You just didn’t get the i thing which is just the name of different families of processor. For each generation, these families get updated with new members that replace the previous ones of the older gen . So in the same gen , the bigger number is actually superior as you thought meaning i9 > i5. But if you start comparing processors from different gens, then yes a recent i5 can not only compete with but also outperform by far an older i9 depending on the gen difference.
