When speccing out CPUs I know the general rule is a faster clock speed will make a core run faster and the greater number of cores you have the more you can do in…

Are Intel Processors' GHz really matter?
It has been confusing me for a long time.
Say, an Intel 4th Gen dual-core i5-4200U which clocks at 1.6 GHz and up to 2.6 GHz and an Intel 4th Gen dual-core i3-4160 which clocks at 3.6 GHz.
As I see that they are both 4th Gen (Haswell), dual-core…
