What is CPU Clock Speed? + Laptop Recommendations
Показать описание
In this video, we are going to walkthrough Clock Speed. What is clock speed, is clock speed important, and why does clock speed matter? ►⏩►⏩ Check the description below for my video editing laptop recommendations.
What is CPU Clock Speed?
Clock speed is the rate a processor can complete a processing cycle.
Why are processing cycles important?
Processing cycles are how your computer is able to accomplish tasks like open Photoshop, render footage in Premiere Pro, or play music in Spotify.
Entry Level Low Budget Laptops (Singular Graphic Design Programs Running)
Entry Level Budget Laptops (Multiple Design Programs Running)
Entry Level Budget Laptops (Multiple Design Programs and 1080p Video Editing)
Mid Level Laptops (Multiple Design Programs and 1080p Video Editing)
Premium Laptops (Multiple Design Programs and 4k Video Editing)
So the obvious thought is that a higher clock speed will give you a faster processor. But clock speed alone does not tell the whole story.
Clock cycles to complete an operation
Every task you conduct on your computer takes a certain amount of clock cycles to complete. The less cycles it takes for your processor to complete a task the faster the processor.
2.0 GHz = 6
3.0 GHz = 3
But if the 3.0 GHz processor take 4 - 5 cycles to complete an operation then it will be less than twice as fast.
This is due to the fact that processors often use different architectures. Intel Core Vs AMD Ryzen, AMD Ryzen vs AMD Athlon, etc...
Developments in architecture
Because of the developments in architecture from one generation to the next processors are able to conduct more tasks per clock cycle.
That is why Instructions Per Cycle (something not found on manufacture specs sheets) is just as important as the actual clock speed.
With that in mind fewer clock cycles with more work are better than more clock cycles with less work. Fewer clock cycles mean that the CPU requires less power for the processor to run while also producing less heat.
More cores and threads mean...
Another thing to take note of is that current CPUs have more cores and threads as their predecessors (thanks to AMD for their efforts here). More cores and threads means that you can accomplish multiple tasks at the same time without slowing your computer down.
So, while the following CPUs have the same Clock Speed, one will be faster at multitasking because of a higher amount of threads.
How to pick the right CPU for your computer:
Consider your use cases
- Multi-tasking?
- Burdensome programs (Premiere Pro, Blender, DaVinci Resolve)?
- Writing papers, listening to music, and web browsing?
Cores and Threads
- Multitasking? (More Cores and Threads)
- Single program heavy lifting (not as important).
- Most high core and high thread count CPUs have clock speeds.
Clock speed
- Make a processor prove itself worthy of your purchase.
- Do your research (compare processors head-to-head)
