How many cores and threads does Core Ultra 7 356H have, and is it suitable for gaming and video editing in a laptop?

  Core Ultra 7 356H has 16 cores and 16 threads, and the H suffix identifies a higher-performance mobile platform. High-refresh 1080p gaming depends on per-core behavior and discrete-GPU TGP, while 1440p and 4K usually depend on the GPU; compiling, encoding, editing, and CPU rendering can use 16 threads, but sustained performance requires checking CPU package power, performance mode, and shared cooling.

  A 10- to 15-minute power and clock log from the exact laptop is more informative for long workloads than peak boost.
