The ForEach-Object cmdlet works much like the Foreach statement, except that you can't pipe input to a Foreach statement. For more information about the Foreach statement, see about_Foreach.

And another appears to be performance

  PS /home/me> $time = (Measure-Command {
  >>     1..1E4 | ForEach-Object {
  >>         $_
  >>     }
  >> }).TotalMilliseconds
  PS /home/me>  [pscustomobject]@{
  >>     Type = 'ForEach-Object'
  >>     Time_ms = $Time
  >>  }
  Type           Time_ms
