- 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.

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)

I subscribed after understanding the concept..well done mate..thank you!
You need to start a patreon channel with a Join feature on CZcams. Your content is extremely valuable but not many people have the time and intelligence to understand the videos. You should start building a loyal fanbase to support you for the efforts your putting in making these videos. Last but not the least, thanks for helping us save our money with your valuable content being made in such a passionate way. ❤️
I have been thinking a lot about how to provide MORE value for a membership community. Its a slow process, going to do something like this at some point in the future.
Thanks for all of your praise and excitement for my channel. :)
Inspirational. Keep up the hard work as always. I love the consistency.
Thank you! Will do!
This is a very well made video full of technical details. Best video i found on this topic so far!
Great episode once again.
Thanks Ben. I appreciate this. I'm trying to make a more educated decision on purchasing a laptop. It's been over ten years and back then I just went for cheap. I'm going to be doing a lot of blender work, and art design for t-shirts and clothing as well as starting a cosplay CZcams channel. Wondering if I should just wait until the new stuff drops or dive in now. Any suggestions?
Amazing information thanks for sharing, now I understand CPU’s much more better thanks to you
Thanks very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Ben! Thank you for all the amazing videos! You recommended on the zenbook 14’. What do u think about the pro model? Same aspects?
The Zen Book 14 would be great for graphic design and some video editing.
I'm sad that i only saw your vid today. You're really great at teaching bro. You're just using simple terms that can be absorb by someone like me who's pretty slow at understanding things
thank you
i3 10110u or i3 1005g1
Which on should i go for, need is basic coding and casual gaming
Hey Ben , is a single task like premiere pro be distributed over multiple cores at lower clock speeds or is it executed by a single core at higher clock speed, for optimised performance??
Great response on Quora to answer your question - www.quora.com/How-do-processors-use-multiple-cores-for-one-application#:~:text=With%20multiple%20cores%20(and%20thus,one%20thing%20at%20a%20time.&text=Even%20if%20it%20seems%20like,the%20cores%20in%20some%20way.
Which laptop i should buy when conpare to i7 ryzen 7 3.1clockspeed or i7 5.1clockspeed both or 10den lapton only.
Bro u deserved 1 billion subs
Hey the thumbnail is kinda cropped, I think u could change it!
How can you find the IPC? Are you able to share the website you're using for the comparison?
IPC is usually found through math calculations. I need to make a video on this. I have a lot of other videos I am currently working on, but I promise it will happen.
Which one do u think works better for gaming , vfx , video editing etc works between ryzen 5 4600h and intel i7 10750H?
The i7 will be a bit faster in singular task performance.
Which do you think is better HP OMEN 15 2020 or LENOVO LEGION 7i 2020
I will be reviewing the HP Omen soon, so I will let y'all know with a video review asap.
Hey,when buying a laptop the specs show clock speed as 1 GHz and turbo boost up to 3.7 GHz is this good??
What laptop are you looking at and what is the processor?
Hp laptop core i5 10th gen quad-core processor
If this is the laptop you're referring to it would be great for graphic design and some 1080p video editing - amzn.to/3iNLFna
Hope this helps.
Just a heads up: Legally I have to let you know that if you make a purchase through the links provided I will get a small commission but at no extra cost to you, but that is what keeps this channel alive and the helpful content coming your way. 🤘 😊
IPC is such important factor that no one talks about (well put at 2:55)
Thanks. Glad that brought you some value... I totally agree... it is overlooked and VERY important.
Clock speed depens on graphic card
