For Good Processors Focus On:

For gaming, the processor is definitely an important factor. Since games will benefit from having higher clock speeds and more cores / threads. Most of the U processors are not ideal for gaming, since they often cannot sustain their boost clock speeds. Here is the order of processor strength of the devices I will be presenting: i5-4300M < Ryzen 5 3450U < i5-10300H < Ryzen 5 5500U < Ryzen 5 5600H = i7-9750H < Ryzen 7 5800U < i7-10750H < Ryzen 7 4800HS < Ryzen 7 4800H = i7-10870H < i7-10875H < Ryzen 9 4900HS < i9-10980HK < i7-11800H < Ryzen 7 5800H < i9-11900H < Ryzen 9 5900HS < i9-11980HK < Ryzen 9 5900HX.

For A Good Graphics Card, Focus On:

Here is the order of weakest to strongest GPUs that are available on this list: Intel HD Graphics 4600 < Vega 8 (Ryzen 3000) < MX450 < GTX 1650 < GTX 1660 Ti = RTX 3050 Ti < RTX 2060 < RTX 2070 < RTX 3060 < RTX 3070 < AMD Radeon RX 6800M < RTX 3080.
