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!

Ok so the cores are part of the cpu. The cpu is, as the name says, the central processing unit. It processes tasks. But to process those tasks, the cpu often needs data to work on. But accessing data from the harddrive is slow. So the data that is needed for processing a task is stored in the memory storage (RAM), because it is build in a way that access is faster. More memory space means that more data can be read fast, which is helpful for large processes like loading a large ampunt of data (like in a gameworld). If you have more questions, please ask.
