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 exact clock speed is not as important as how old your CPU is.
A 10 year old CPU at 3,5 Ghz will be WAY slower then a modern one with 2,5.
Look at the required CPU for the game you want to play, then compare it with your own.
If your CPU is much older its possible you could run into problems running the game.
If its as new or newer then the one mentioned you wont have any problems, even with 100mhz less clock speed.

What you need to check is the cores expected. A dual core at 2.5 is not going to be that much different than a dualcore at 2.4. What will make a difference is other things like hypoer threading, and cache. The amount of cache on the cpu is one of the biggest determinants of processing power. The second is the presence of hyper threading.

All else being equal trhe only real difference between an older and newer cpu is the power consumption.

In your case Op you just have to make sure your i5 is a quad not a dual.

There are no i5 dual cores. All i5 are quad. Only i3 are dual.

Well, no that's not really true.

First gen (6xx) i5's were dual.

Most mobile i5's have been dual up until... skylake? when they finally switched to quad.

I'm sure my notebook is gonna love to hear that it has a quadcore now ... oh wait, it doesn't.

Bingo. Though to be fair I made that same error once.

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

I'm not a tech person... but doesnt the Vid card play a important role in how smooth games play

It does, but if your CPU isnt't fast enough to feed the GPU then you'll get bad framerates anyway.

It would help if the OP would post what model CPU he/she actually has.

[_I_]

any mobile i3 will not be able to play games under about 15 years old
they will not have a dedicated gpu and its gma is not strong enough for anything 3d

As people have said, clockspeed isn't everything.

You also need to consider these:

- Amount of cores
- age of the cpu
- what architecture the cpu is (this is one of the harder things for regular user to know, so the answer can only be found through research)

[chiefputsilao✖️ping]

just list the complete model of your i5 ,ie. i5-3570; i5-4460; i5-6600; i5-7400, etc

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...

I've got the I5 6200u in my laptop and it's $hit, can't even get the frames above 40 on CSGO and it runs at 2.4 to 2.7 ghz. Two core, 4 threads, maybe if it had 2 more cores it would be better.

what vid card do you have in a computer like that..
