Some programs will specify a minimum processor speed needed. Make sure that any software you buy will run on your computer before you shell out money to buy it. Video games are especially known for requiring speedy processors and other high end system components in order to run smoothly.
Programs will generally run more smoothly on a faster processor. While you may be able to use a slower processor for basic Web browsing and word processing, you might experience some delays playing games, editing audio, graphics or video or when doing other demanding tasks. If you're not sure which processor is right for your needs, take a look at the software system requirements, read reviews or ask a technology expert.
The clock speed of a processor isn't the only factor when you're thinking about its efficiency. Many processors now have multiple cores, which are effectively separate processing units within the chip. Generally, processors with more cores can run more tasks in parallel, effectively making them faster. Processors also contain a limited amount of cache memory, where they can store data for fast access. More cache generally means a speedier processor.
The 3 line offers basic performance for workstations. The 5 sees a lot of mixed and gaming use. Depending on the generation, power consumption, and speed not every 3 is worse than every 5 and so on.
The more cores a CPU offers, the more it can do. The doing is performed by threads which always come in pairs with the cores. More cores and more threads generally mean more tasks can be handled simultaneously, but an Intel CPU with 4. Which takes us to the basic clock and the speeds it runs at before all that spiffy overclocking.
The base clock represents the idle speed in billions of pulses per second GHz. The higher the base clock, the more power draw and the hotter the chip gets. The number of GHz doubling on the same number of cores would mean roughly twice the speed. There are a few other aspects that will push those numbers up and down, including the frequency of RAM but generally, the math holds.
It gets more challenging when you factor in other cores. Even assuming they are both running a single task, depending on the architecture and processing allocation, they may handle things differently.
The power consumption of a 2. The ratio between the base clock and the boost clock or overclock is not the same from chip to chip. This also comes down to the architecture and how well the voltage travels through a chip. You may find it easier to overhead a chip on one motherboard over another. That reason has nothing to do with making sentient machines and everything to do with frying chips. Show Ignored Content. Similar Threads - enough processor laptop. Decent enough mid-grade laptop?
