Is 2.4 ghz processor speed good

A 2.3GHz AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D gets a higher Geekbench score than the 3.8GHz AMD Ryzen 5 7600, because there is more to comparing CPUs than just a difference in clock speed.

However, with all the caveats of architecture, caches, word length, and GPUs, is "faster" better? Well, yes, of course. The quicker the processor runs, the smoother intensive games run, the shorter your renders, and less laggy your video.

Heat is the main enemy of computer systems, so if you run a clock slower, you can lower the voltage which reduces the heat and saves power.

Does cpu ghz matter for gaming

Another aspect is the manufacturing process, and the size of the transistors within the chip. Measured in nanometers, the smaller the scale, the less power the chip uses — which means less heat is generated and the chip can be clocked faster.

While we no longer take crystals out of computers and swap them with faster ones, there is the modern equivalent in overclocking.

Making chips is a chemical industrial process, and as fine as the tolerances in production are, not a
