Yeah, the thing too about desktop vs laptop is not just core count but TDP. An Intel 12900K on an OC can draw like 400W ( https://wccftech.com/intel-core-i9-12900k-overclocked-to-5-3-ghz-across-all-cores-with-1-44v-voltage-hits-insane-400w-power-consumption-in-aida64-stress-test/ https://wccftech.com/intel-core-i9-12900k-overclocked-to-5-3... ) vs a laptop that will get you a max of like 115w for turbo (<10 seconds at a time) and 45w under normal circumstances ( https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/132215/intel-core-i912900hk-processor-24m-cache-up-to-5-00-ghz.html https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/132215/... ). And good luck getting anything close to RTX 3090Ti performance in a laptop. It'd basically be a toasted oven on your lap. Desktops can just sink a ton more heat, and as process shrinks and die size increases have gotten us less and less additional performance each year, we're just pushing power up to the point now where a TOTL gaming desktop is pulling close to 1KW. A laptop will never come close. If you really do want to try a literal desktop CPU in a laptop, there are mfgs like Eurocom and Sager that will sell you one, just don't expect it not to throttle a lot under actual heavy workloads.
