[SOLVED] What processor do I need to get? Laptop

[AHAFlier]

I asked also this on reddit but more opinions are always welcome, sorry if it causes any inconvenience
I want to buy a new laptop later this month, as my old 7th gen is lacking in heavy tasks right now. Right now there are different options in the market so I don’t know which processor is the ideal for my tasks. I also want it to be future-proof for 3 years.

I am aware that Ryzen (laptop) is the best option but for my gaming needs I a 2060 might lack in the near future with its 6gb of VRAM. So sadly intel is the option.
Also desktop isn’t an option
My current budget is enough to get a computer with the 8-core I7-10875h, but I don’t know if it will be more than enough or if I need something more powerful like an i9-10980hk, which the price difference is minimum $300.
Also I have seen models with Ryzen desktop processors like this model, are they worth getting?

This is what the computer will used for in order of importance:
-Gaming (simulators )
-Game development (programming, shader compiling (cpu intensive), texturing, 3D modeling, exporting )
-Solidworks
-Studying

So, which processor might be the best way to go to satisfy my needs?
Thanks in advance!

I think the question that need to be answer is can you afford it, for sure i9-10980 will give you better rendering performance but if is over your budget, i7-10875 will do just fine.

And I think overall Ryzen procssors at the same price point give you better overall rendering performance.

Yes, it is over my budget at the moment but I don’t know if the performance Increases in The i9 are worth spending the extra bucks or if I should stick with the i7

I think that unless you're going to be using it professionally or you really really really want the extra performance. I don't think it's going to be that noticeable and might just be better off with the i7 in my opinion.

The most professional thing I will do is rendering, for that the i7 is good? Or I really need the i9?

You'll be fine with the i7 in my opinion. Can either save the extra cost or throw the extra funding towards more ram or a better video card (or more/better SSDs). I think those have a more recognisable effect on rendering speed.
