Why a cpu with tons of core counts cant maxed out its potential even though the GPU is not maxed yet (so called bottleneck) , what kinda bottleneck is that when cpu barely sitting at 40% and the gpu cant do more than 70% ish? If the cpu 100% and gpu 70% its called cpu bottleneck
@srr1887 no core count only matters little in gaming cpu frequency is most important for the threads working for the gpu to do well. If you have for example 128 core cpu with 1ghz speed and the game uses 8 thread max. You will see 2 pecent cpu usage but gpu is maybe at 30 percent because thread8 threads are not processed fast
Hz is the times per second. 1 Ghz (Giga Hertz) is 1000000000Hz aka 1 billion times per second. so 3.9Ghz is 3900000000Hz aka 3.9 billion times per second which he rounds up to 4 billion. most computer screens use a 60hz display. this means it can display 60 frames per second. again using Hertz as the number of times something happens per second Hope this helps! (if you are still interested)
Ok first off lets remove ourselves from 1980s thinking and realize the more lanes on a highway the less the traffic is and fast cores is essential as well but what they do not tell you is it work the way its programed to do so if you want a game to work well with fast singe core compute simply program it that way or program it for more cores and it will work the same however with more cores things change were now with more cores more work is done and leaves you more room to do multiple things at once and programmers can go around needing more speed by using more cores making it more likely you will not purchase a new CPU which intel does not want to happen so they push the fast core narrative lie. Think about it more men more work done its very simple to understand does not take a rocket scientist to understand whoever is selling more cores Understands Science much better.
I would say duel core because the overall speed is higher and its cheaper, but theres so many other variables like if one or both is multithreaded, how old is each, what features it supports (and which you really need), etc. Im guessing the duel core is cheaper because its older so you might be losing out on some features as well as raw power even if its technically the faster cpu.
