I have a low end cpu I have i5 🙃 and I wanna try to solve one of the unsolved puzzle but I guess I'm out of this because I have a low end device . Can anyone give me suggestions if there is any possibility 🙃 I am a student currently in 3 year of computer science...

Possibile: yes.
Probability to solve an unsolved puzzle with a single i5 CPU in your lifetime: there are higher chances you notice an alien ship invading while you are reading this, but an unexpected sun burst obliterates it just seconds before it fires its quantum weapon. Then a giant wormhole caused by some secret project absorbs all of the the plasma burst fireworks, and everyone gets free electricity for a few centuries out of it. Oh, and all this should happen just after scientists found a cure for cancer.

67 was solved by using an immense amount of GPU power (thousands) running for several months, what do you expect even with the fastest of CPUs? You'd need a bunch of millions of them to stand any chance.
