Processor

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is like the brains of your desktop computer. Its performance determines how fast and responsive your PC is. Generally, a processor with newer architecture, more CPU cores, higher TDP (measured in W), and faster clock speed (measured in GHz) tends to be more expensive and run faster than others with older architecture, fewer CPU cores, lower TDP, and lower clock speed.

For Lenovo Legion T730, you have options to configure it with a 65W 8th Generation Intel Coffee Lake 6-core Intel Core i5-8400 up to a 95W 8-core Intel Core i9-9900K with a boost speed up to 5.00 GHz.

While Dell Optiplex 5070 Tower has configurations with a 54W Intel Coffee Lake dual-core Intel Pentium Gold G5420 up to a 65W 8-core Intel Core i7-9700 with a boost speed up to 4.70 GHz.

Memory

The Random Access Memory or RAM is the super-fast and temporary storage used to handle all active tasks, apps, and games that will go away when your PC turns off.
