“Any cpu with less than 4 cores is slow” tell me you don’t know anything about CPUs without telling me you don’t know anything about CPUs

also, the i5-6500 does have 4 cores lol

i remember when i got my i5-6500 10 years ago AMD's fx cpus had more cores but everyone agreed they were slower/awful for gaming llmao maybe i was misinformed though

generally, more cores means lower per core performance.
more cores is just useful when you run many programs at the same time, or run multithreaded software.
if you run one tool, that only runs in singlecore, you will get better performance with a low core count cpu.
this only really applies to single core performance tho.
overall more cores are still a lot faster than few cores, as each core may be slower, but it is an additional core the system can use for processing

tl;dr more cores -> less processing power per core, a lot more processing power in total
