I am looking for a laptop for trading stocks on NYSE. The most important thing is processor. It must be powerful. Now, I have 2 core i7 and it's garbage. Can't handle tons of numbers that are moving so quickly. 5820k and 6950x in my desktop are doing great so I want something like this in laptop.

I will also need to connect to it at least 3 portable screens. I thought about this

What do you think guys?

I am just wondering which one would be the best because somebody just told me in desktops 6950x is slower than 5960x

I dont know how are mobile processors doing.

mobile processors are not really up to good tasks as desktop ones/ Try getting an i7 6700hq

Ignore what everyone said here. You have 2 options to go here. 

Pick up a tier 1 mobile CPU 6820HK from something like a Dell E5470.

Pick up a 6700 from a laptop that can run desktop CPUs.
