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
i3 or i9 is more like a family of processors than anything. They have different features. If you’re not using these features, or if your programs could run equally well without these features, then you wouldn’t notice their absence.
In general I’d agree that for a vast, vast majority of users even i7 is overkill. Of course there’s going to be exceptions to that.
