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

Within the same generation, you can compare core counts and clock speed. Outside of that you need benchmarks.
The biggest thing about a laptop is that it has much less physical space, power, and cooling capability, so they generally aren’t as fast as a desktop part of similar price and architecture.
For streaming games, you probably want at least 6 cores, More depending on game and stream settings.
