How do cores, i5s/i7s/i9s, different GHz, and 16/32 GB of memory affect a computer performance when working together?

I want to get a new computer because I’m an educator and I’d like to start designing a website, making video content, writing long documents, photoshop, and other content creation.

I’m looking at a MacBook but the research on how all of the cpus work with cores work with ghz speed work with different memory sizes is making my head spin.

Please, ELI5, show me how all of these things work together as if they were one functioning system. All I can find are articles that explain each separately, but not how each impacts the other. Thank you!

Maybe someone else could elaborate on this more. But cooling is an important factor as well. Especially considering the MacBooks. The MacBook Pro has better cooling meaning the processors can run more efficiently. The MacBook Air doesn’t have enough cool so even though dual processor is newer generation than then quad processor in the MacBook Pro, you’ll get better benchmarks from the baseline MacBook Pro than an upgraded MacBook Air with a quad processor.
