[SOLVED] laptop with a dedicated gpu vs without one

[Gamer_X]

Does a dedicated gpu affect the CPU performance in thermals and power draw? Will the CPU perform better if there is no dedicated gpu or I use a e-gpu (this is for a laptop).I found two laptops one with and without a dedicated graphics card both have the same CPU (10875h) and I mainly want CPU performance so I was wondering will the one without the dedicated gpu be able to maintain higher clock speeds?

Thanks in advance

This only becomes an issue if the GPU is actually being used to such an amount that it becomes an issue, if you have the GPU just to display windows it won't draw enough power or cause enough heat to do anything to the CPU performance.
