I own an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 six core processor and a old Intel 4770K 4 core CPU, when I reduce CPU power from control panel (to reduce heat in summer seasons, both have stock fans) I reduce like minimum %45 max %55 for both computers, have similiar specs, 16GB RAM and a 4GB GPU, both systems installed on SSDs SATA 3. My problem is: AMD cpu feels slower in basic tasks, like when opening Windows Explorer, creating paint images and launching firefox browser with these reduction applied but it is applied to both computers. However AMD feels fantastic in video editing, is this what they keep talking about? "single core performance" thing? Because Intel 4770k have only 4 cores even with HT disabled and it runs much smoother for almost every task.
Is this normal? cores don't matter anymore?
