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

GHz haven’t changed much over the last decade.
I would look at the I number (e.g., i3 vs i5 vs i7 vs i9) and the model number of the processor (e.g. 8750H). The “8th generation” is implicit in the “8” part of “8750H”.

For streaming, I would recommend a laptop whose GPU has NVidia’s “NVENC” or AMD’s “VCN” technology. These are features whereby part of the GPU is used for the video stream encoding, taking the load off of the CPU for more consistent performance.
