Hello, everyone! I’ve been doing some research into computer hardware lately, and one thing that I keep coming across is this idea that the speed of a processor, while important, isn’t the only thing that affects a computer’s overall performance. I’m having a bit of a hard time wrapping my head around this because I always thought that a faster processor meant a faster computer. Can anyone explain why this isn’t necessarily the case? I’m really interested to learn more about this!

Imagine that your CPU is your heart.
You have a rask to transport a lot of bricks form A to B.
Your heart might make you able to run faster or for longer before you cannot go anymore.
But your arms determine how much you can carry each tine
Your legs determine if you tired as well, and how long steps you can take.
In the same way as the human body, the computer also have many factors in determining how fast it can complete a task.
