And it's like uh..."you-have-the-more-powerful-stuff-to-run-a-simpler-system" kind of feeling...something like you have a killer beast, that is under your control, and despite the fact that it can ram through anything, you jyst keep that power in your leash....and you can always release it when required...kind of feeling...hard to describe...
Am I even making any sense here?... 🤣
Intel knows how you feel with their "speedstep", but they do the work for you. My i5 is 3.3 CPU, but clocks down to 1.6 while idle and bumps up to 3.8 under loads that only requires 2 cores.
