Answer:
Device A
Advantages
- Users can have more applications open without crashing or slowdown. (High RAM)
- Applications that use lots of data will perform better on this device. (High RAM and cache)
- Can handle double the tasks concurrently compared to Device B; it is great at tackling multiple tasks at the same time.
Disadvantages
- Although, the device can handle more tasks concurrently, tasks will be handled slower compared to Device B. (Low Ghz speed)
Device B
Advantages
- Computer can handle tasks faster compared to device A; is great at tackling the task at hand quickly.
Disadvantages
- User cannot keep a lot of applications running due to lack of RAM. Additionally, the computer can be very slow when RAM is low on space even with a fast CPU.
- Applications that process a lot of data will be significantly slower compared to Device A (Low RAM and cache).
- Applications may crash due to lack of memory.
Additional clarification about the cores:
Let's say these computers are peeling bananas.
Device A can peel 4 bananas simultaneously but peels each banana 2x slower than Device B.
Device B can peel bananas 2x faster than Device A, but can only peel 2 bananas simultaneously.
