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

1.16K 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?

You have a Bugatti Chiron with a top speed of 300 mph. You’re cruising on the freeway at 70 mph. Swap out your Bugatti for a Honda Civic and you’re still cruising on the freeway at 70 mph (but getting better gas mileage).

When you accelerate hard, or hit the race track, you’ll notice a big difference, but most of the time you won’t.
