I researched a little with CPU's, and I can't seem to figure out how certain CPU's are better than others. I can understand GPU's just fine, they're pretty simple - but cpu's....gah.
For example, I was searching about my e5300 and an e6400 and I clicked on this forum. Pretty much everyone said the e5300 was slightly better than the e6400. I have a small idea how, but I'm not totally sure still.
I understand the 45nm die vs. 65nm die, and the difference in the overall processing speed, but if the e5300 is better then why is it so much of a lower number? I just like learning about CPU's, gpu's and pretty much any computer component in general, so I'm not criticizing or anything, I just want to learn about computers more.
If you answer (without using destructive nonsense), then I thank you. =)
