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!

The cpu is like your brain, very important. But how useful is it if you had no legs and couldn’t walk, arms to grab, mouth to speak, etc.
So the cpu needs to work together with other parts depending on your goal. If you want to jog a marathon you would need strong legs. If you want to play video games you’ll need a good gpu.
So depending on what you want the pc to do, other parts are factored in.
