Why Hardware Matters?
A weak processor is the leading cause of "micro-freezing." In 2026, streaming data is heavily compressed (HEVC/H.265). Your device needs a powerful GPU to decompress this data in real-time. Without sufficient hardware power, you will experience lag even with a 1Gbps internet connection.
