Why do computers start to slow down over time?
In: 1180
It’s better to think about it as your PC can only work at a certain maximum speed, but the workload you give it increases over time.
If you used the same PC for years without changing the software, it would run at the same speed at the beginning as at the end.
Take a game console. It’ll run the same game at the same speed for years. Give it a more demanding game and it “slows down” but it’s clock speeds didn’t drop, it just has more work to do.
