  • Laptop processors don’t touch desktop processor performance though.

    If you want maximum performance, it’s going to be a desktop processor, hands down, no discussion.

    The downside is, it becomes bulky due to cooling and power needs. The most powerful laptops will be gaming laptops with desktop processors.

    https://www.originpc.com/gaming/laptops/eon17-x/ This is an example of a 7lb beast of a laptop using a high end cpu.

    If you want the maximum performance in a traditional laptop, for example one that meets your budget, then the following applies to AMD:

    Look at the cpu model. Beside Ryzen 3 5 7 etc, the last letter in the model name, represents the product series. If it’s U, it means that this processor is built for thin-and-light laptops; The HS series is for higher performance model with slimmer chassis and HX is right for those most powerful laptops in the world.

    You can pick two things cheap, fast, light but not all 3. It’s all a sliding scale of performance to price to size.


  • Your asking 2 things that don’t generally go together. Thin and powerful cpus.

    You can get laptops with desktop processors, but they won’t be thin. You can get thin laptops, but they will be smaller core counts, lower clock speeds, and thermally limited.

    From what it sounds like you need, you’ll need to sacrifice some thinness to get the multicore performance you want. Go AMD and look for something maybe last generation to keep the price down.



  • Vw jetta I think an '02. The interior was nice but it fell apart pretty quick. It ran great until almost exactly 80k miles. At that point, so much stuff started breaking all at once that I lost count. Forget even trying to work on them, I had to use so many specialized tools that were made specific to VW. I couldn’t get rid of that car fast enough.
