Can my intel i5 2.4Ghz play 2.5 GHz Games smoothly?

[76561198823304817]

Please give me some answer i want to buy a 2.5Ghz game but now im nervous ... Can my 2.4Ghz Cpu run it smoothly or not... Please tell me and Thanks 4 ur support

The game can only use 2 cores, so more cores wouldn't really help. Stronger/higher clockspeed cores would.
Also, you probably just have weak gpu.

CSGO is not core depanding as it only uses 1. A quad core CPU wouldnt make any difference.

Comparing the clockspeed is sensless as comaprign engines to the RPM? Which engine is stronger, the high RPM sport car engine or the lwo RPM nuclear submarine engine? Its obvios that the submarien has a stronegr engine even tho lower RPM.

Same goes for a PC. The clockspeed just tell you how many cycles a CPU does per second. Nothing more nothing less.
The actual performance is the instruction per cycle (IPC). so overall:

Performance = IPC * Clockrate

older or small (mobile) CPU's have in general a low IPC while newer desktop CPU have a high IPC.

The FX-8350 has a very low IPC but high clockrate of 4.5 GHz. Thats why it get stomped massivly by a high IPC i7-7700K even tho only have a clockspeed of 4.2GHz.

2,4 ghz on i5 sound like a laptop cpu = 2 core 4 threads... there are multiple videos on youtube which games run on certain cpu or gpu...

Yeah you right it laptop... But i want to add pc gpu using egpu beast to make it a gaming laptop

CS:GO definitely use multiple cores and anyone claiming it just uses one is simply dead wrong.

80-150 fps on one core.
95-145 fps or so on two cores.
215-325 fps on four cores.
And that's on an i7 6700K so with hyper-threading too, so really two, four and eight threads.
Clearly it run much better on four cores eight threads and any program showing CPU load would show a lot of load on many cores. I've played CS:GO on an AMD X4 9850 and of course it taxes all the cores a lot.

I assume that idiot claim come from the fact that FX CPUs may have run the game slower than the Intel CPUs because the Intel CPUs could run any single thread much faster something the extra threads against an i5 didn't compensate for. And say an eight core sixteen thread Ryzen 7 2700X doesn't run CS:GO faster than a six core twelve thread i7 8700K not because CS:GO only use on thread but because the extra advantage of having four more isn't enough to compensate for the lower clock and higher memory latency of the Ryzen 7. And yeah, sixteen cores or 32 cores wouldn't be either because clearly the memory latency and clock/IPC matter more.

The game is NOT only using one core though.

At 4.7 GHz for both the i7 8700K run CS:GO faster than the i7 7700K:

So six cores is better than four is better than two is better than one but it also matter how capable those cores are. The Ryzen ones with lower clock and higher memory latency and the much slower FX ones aren't as good for it as the higher clock lower latency Intel ones.

Yes but FX 8350 is still decent with multicore demanding games, as a low entry Intel nowadays.

I disagree, if you compare benchmarks between the i3-8100 vs FX 8350[cpu.userbenchmark.com] the i3's IPC appears to do over 2x the work of a single FX thread making it more efficient even in multi-core workloads.

Thats an i3. I wrote that i3 are dual core. So what is your problem here?

My problem is that i screwed up when selecting the CPU. This is the one i meant. A dualcore i5.

Ah ok, that makes more sense now.

Pentium is the low end gaming CPU for Intel as G4560 has been a successful gaming budget CPU for budget gaming PC.
