How many cores and threads does Core i7 13700HX have, and is it suitable for gaming and video editing in a laptop?

  Core i7 13700HX has 16 cores and 24 threads (8 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores, with Hyper-Threading on the performance cores) and was the mainstream high-end gaming-laptop chip of 2022-2023. It is overkill for gaming alone and stable under mixed use such as gaming while streaming; 1080p high refresh depends on per-core speed and the GPU, while 1440p and 4K lean on the GPU.

  The same 13700HX runs very differently across laptops because of sustained power and cooling, so check dual-load tests of the exact model rather than the chip name.
