I’ve reviewed my options and considered these two routers. One is currently on sale at a similar price to the other. The AX1500 features a tri-core processor running at 1.5Ghz, while the AC1900 has a dual-core at 1Ghz. Given our household needs—many devices, daily gaming, parents working, streaming at night, everyone using phones—I’m curious if the AX1500’s higher core count would better handle the traffic. Both claim long-range capabilities and support for advanced features like MU-MIMO and Wi-Fi 6. I’d like to hear more opinions before deciding.

I believe the central components aren't crucial. The permitted connections are set by the documentation. Neither of these processors uses AMD64 architecture, making a direct comparison based on speed and cores meaningless.

The better purchase depends on your needs, but I can help compare options if you let me know what you're considering.

No idea at all. I was just highlighting that the comparison didn’t account for the number of CPU cores. Usually, better WiFi models handle frequencies more smartly and cover farther distances through various materials or in busier networks. They often come with additional features too. So a pricier router might be worth it if you need those capabilities the other doesn’t. Still, it really depends on the situation. Factors like room layout, the number and placement of neighboring Wi-Fi devices, and how congested the network is all play a role.
