TechSpot named the ten most popular misconceptions about computer hardware.And explained why
The first mythstates that processors can be compared to each other in terms of the number of cores and clock speeds.However, in fact, there are so many different variations with different parameters that it is impossible to evaluate the CPU according to such simple criteria.Of course, a six-core processor will be faster than a quad-core processor, but modern chips are too complex and different from each other.You need to take into account power consumption, the specifics of individual tasks performed by the processor, and many other things.
Second misconceptionHowever, in reality, two processors at the same price point running at the same frequency candiffer significantly in performance.
