Multipliers (เท่า)

When buying new technology, we often compare the performance of the new model against the old one. To express multipliers or scale—like "twice as fast" or "three times the capacity"—Thai uses the word เท่า.

Expressing Multipliers

To say something is a certain number of times faster, bigger, or more powerful, place the number followed by เท่า immediately after the comparison structure.

Pattern: [Adjective / Verb] + กว่า + [Number] + เท่า

Capacity and Memory

When discussing storage or memory upgrades, use the exact same structure with quantity words like เยอะ (a lot / many).

Graphics and Heavy Processing

Multipliers are especially useful when emphasizing the massive leaps in performance required for high-resolution graphics and heavy data processing.
