hello, yes, this is the problem. 2.9ghz is written on the box as the base clock and the machine is also very slow.
📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a slow computer that is advertised with a 2.9 GHz base clock, with the original poster expressing concern about the system's sluggishness. The responder clarifies that CPU speed is per core and emphasizes that overall performance depends on multiple factors, including the number of cores, cache size, hardware components, and software. The overall tone is informative, aiming to clarify misunderstandings about CPU performance and system speed.

The CPU speed is per core speed, so speed can be Core speed X number of cores. Speed is not the only factor on how a system will perform. You have speed, number of cores, size of on board cache upon other factors. Other components such as memory, storage, connector types, cooling can all play into performance hardware wise. This is not even factoring in OS and software running which can further impact performance.
