Is there a 16 core laptop you can get in US that does not have loud fans? If not whats a good reliable 8 core laptop thats is super fast?

im using this for work and not for gaming so graphics are not a big deal, Im looking for something dependable 5 years or more, up to 3k on price is ok.

I'm not even aware of any 16 core laptops, leave alone a "quiet" one. Stuffing a 5950X in a laptop is not going to be easy to cool...

What programs are you using?

 

Don't look at core count alone, there is much more than that to performance?

 

HOw much does weight matter? What screen size do ou want?

You're asking the impossible, at least by today's standards. More cores means more power, which means more heat. Fewer cores but with higher power means even more heat than that. The only way to get rid of that heat is to have sufficient cooling.

 

This is why high end laptops are all basically shit. Get a good desktop and a mid range laptop for your portable needs.

weight does not matter and 17 or bigger would be nice, im just so overwhelmed with choices and dont know where to start. thanks

gotcha, do you have any recommendations for a decent 8 core 16 ram or bigger?

That kind of budget? Dell Precision 7560 workstation machines maybe?

so should I focus on cores? whats the difference between 6 and 8 cores, could a 6 core be faster than a 8? is there a short video or something you would recommend on educating me on all this?

For a laptop I don't recommend anything over 4 cores. There's a good reason even a 6 core laptop is common. They're just bad ideas. You can't lug around enough cooling. I have trouble cooling my quad core.

 

To answer your other question, there are a ton of cases where more cores is the same speed or even slower than fewer. Bigger number doesn't mean better. We need to know what you're trying to do.

That's not true. My 8 core slim laptop doesn't break out of the 80s under full load. There's plenty of adequately cooled 8 core laptops.

What kind of cores? I'm obviously talking about specifically x86 architecture. I assume you have an ARM CPU, and that's comparing apples to...peanuts. Low power high efficiency cores are hardly the same thing.
