My current Macbook is 5 years old and has a 2.4ghz core i7 processor.

Because Steve isn't around anymore to tell them to get their shit together. Also, you have to pay extra to get 16GB in that brand new one.

Lower clock speed is irrelevant because in 5 years theres so much more work being done with each clock of the processor it'll still be way faster in most use cases. Plus depending on which i7 and what you're looking at, that's probably just the base speed when it's idling or doing basic tasks and anything intensive it'll ramp itself up probably higher than 2.4 for sure. Good luck anon if you can't figure this out yourself

Are they significantly faster despite having less ghz? I understand it's a newer processor but I don't understand how it can be less.

Look up 'instructions per clock', 'CPU cache' and 'multithreading/core count'

It's less current expensive anon! You lucky

the newer ones are faster per clock cycle but you're probably comparing a MacBook with a CPU upgrade vs the base model of a newer MacBook.
