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

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

You want benchmarks, side-by-side comparisons between components on a standardized workload. This will allow you to find which combination is optimal, because making a part better only improves your overall if that part is the rate limiting part. One such site is [UBMark](https://www.userbenchmark.com/PCBuilder ) and another is [Tom’s](https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html ).
