The answer is simple – the more, the better. So, how do you choose which one is better?
The disadvantage of higher clock speed is that it requires more power (battery drains faster), and it generates more heat. Turbo Boost. While normally processors run at their base clock speed, sometimes they can run faster.Cache. Some processors have a little bit of memory where they store data to reduce the need to access slower RAM on the motherboard.So if your computer has 4 cores and 8 threads, in Activity Monitor, you will see 8 logical CPUs. Hyper-Threading. It’s another Intel’s trick to put more CPUs (logical) on the same physical chip.Higher the clock usually means a faster processor when all other things equal.

The sequence with which I consider upgrade options is not accidental.Īs you may know, once you purchased MacBook, there is no way to upgrade it (add more disk space, memory, change CPU) later. And finally, I am ready to answer the Processor question. I already covered questions, such as “Is 128GB storage enough” or “Is 8GB RAM enough” previously. Obviously, people start questioning each upgrade option. When you start adding more RAM and SSD storage to match PCs, suddenly, Macs become not so cheap.

While entry-level Macs are on par (in terms of price) with Surface and Dell ultrabooks, PC laptops often have more impressive specs. Since I’ve been answering them for a while I decided to write a simple decision guide, which I hope will be useful for non-technical people or people just learning about computers ( aka college students).
