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
A lot of the more simple tasks people use computers for do not require that much effort or work from the CPU.
Thus the average “decent” CPU from maybe around 2014 is fairly okay doing mundane tasks. And some programs generally end up putting the GPU to the test rather than the CPU.
Also a lot of software nowadays supports using multiple cores for the same program’s tasks. Or hardware acceleration.
