Can someone please explain how the specifications in PC’s/laptops work and what they mean?

572 views

Im trying to build a gaming pc, but no matter how many videos i check from LinusTech or Jayztwocents etc… i can’t seem to keep up or understand correctly. So here are things i can’t understand.

– How can i easily check and compare processors and how good they are? Is a I7 8750H 2.20GHz 8th generation and thus automatically worse than a 9th or 10th generation? Do i have to look at the GHz’s?

– In what way does a laptop differ from a pc? I know a 3070 for a laptop isn’t as strong as a 3070 for pc, but is the same thing true for processors? And how do i know how big that difference is, without looking up reviews and comparisons?

– What exactly does the amount of cores change in a laptop? If i want to use my laptop to stream, do i look at the cores, the ram or am i automatically good with a 9th gen and up?

I actually have a lot more questions, but if i can get these answered, id already be happy.

Thanks in advance

>can’t run GTA V properly anymore.

So, it worked at some point?

Run a virus scan. If that finds something and things start to work, you’re good to go. Either way, if it’s not working, run rootkit scanners like [Sophos](https://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-anti-rootkit.aspx) or [Malwarebytes](https://www.malwarebytes.com/antirootkit). Run an adware cleaner too, like [this.](https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner) Any other ones work too. These are free.

If none of that works, see if your computer is overheating. I once worked on a computer that had so much cat hair that I had to scoop a bunch out before I could even vacuum.
