Ow nou, I just bought an i9 laptop

Aren't intels laptop chips a different architecture

Depends on the generation. The one that's just been released, Meteor Lake, wasn't released on desktop because despite Intel aspiring to make it a more power efficient architecture across the board, in a lot of its voltage/frequency curve, it's less efficient than previous gen.

On desktop, it'd be a downgrade over previous gen for sure, so they instead just re-released 13th gen chips as 14th gen.

The article talks about desktop CPUs, so I guess they are different architecture... Hope I will be able to play "The Sims" smoothly.

I have a 3 year old i9 in my laptop and that shit overheats trying to watch 4k YouTube lol. This chip never had any business being in a small chassis
