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 wouldn’t notice” and “compete with” are two different standards.
The former says, “the stuff you need a processor to do is easy enough that most processors could do it without a problem.” The latter says, “Anything an i9 can do, an i5 could also do.”
i9 processors *are* better than i5s. But the ways in which they are better aren’t really necessary for a lot of users. Certain software and video games *may* depend on things that could benefit from the better processor, but most things that most people do won’t see any noticeable difference.
