You're seeing different results because of the hardware differences between your laptop and desktop. Your laptop has a lower base clock (11800h) and 16GB RAM, while your desktop uses a higher base clock (9700k) with more RAM and a newer GPU model. Additionally, your desktop has multicore support enabled in BIOS and XMP profiles, which can boost performance further. The CSGO settings you're using are consistent, but the underlying hardware capabilities differ significantly.
The 11800h boosts perform exceptionally well under heavy light multi-core usage, and because CSGO is primarily a dual-core title, it runs much more efficiently on two cores, delivering noticeably higher FPS. That’s typical behavior.
