Yes, I know, yet another guy asking about processor speed.
Sure, I've read up on this, and yes, I'm aware that processor speed is not the be all and end all. (Though how simple were the days when computer wars came down to "well, mine's a Pentium 3 2.4gHz whereas yours is only a Pentium 3 2.2gHz". I digress...)
Nonetheless, I am interested to know its significance with respect to ultrabooks tending to have lower clock speeds, presumably to keep the heat/consumption down.
So, an i5 1.8gHz, say. Versus what would probably be a 2.2 or 2.5gHz in the corresponding laptop (i.e. non-ultrabook). What does that difference of .04-.07gHz equate to in everyday computing?
Would it mean longer load times? Would it be noticeable only in more intensive tasks - say, zipping large files, or running games?
This is not in respect to any laptops in particular, more a point of interest.
Thanks advance, TPU.
