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!

Your computer crunches a lot of data. Picture data like a highway, or road system. Sure, you may have a 6-lane highway but if it turns off into a 2 lane back road, traffic’s gonna back up.
