So I am looking for a new laptop and what I found is that there is a massive difference in speed between the i7-7700K (desktop version) and i7-7700HQ (laptop version). I can get laptops with either, however, the problem is that all of the available models that I could find (regardless of manufacturer) with the 7700K do not come with other features that I consider absolute must-haves.
So my question is this: how much of a difference will there be, functionally, between the 7700HQ and 7700K, by the following metrics:
1) Resource-intensive performance: I run physics-based simulations as part of my job (think computational fluid dynamics and the like). Will the lower clock speed of the 7700HQ affect how quickly these simulations can run, and by how much?
2) Performance over time: Will getting a 7700K improve the lifetime of my computer? I prefer to buy laptops meant to last 4+ years.
