Hi ,so I have these three laptop options and my primary purpose is on heavy gaming but what confuses me is the Ryzen 7 5800h as compared to i5 11400h ,6core vs 8core as both have a 95w RTX 3060
But then there's a ryzen 5 5600h 6core option as well but I honestly don't know how the performance would change amongst the three paired with the aforementioned gpu
Acer Nitro 5 Ryzen 5 5600H
- AN515-45-R3TC - $1260
Asus Tuf F15 i5 11400H
- FX566HM-HN104T - $1206
Acer Nitro 5 Ryzen 7 5800H
- AN515-45-R2GL - $1340
Besides different CPUs, there are other tid bits I'm sure that come into play affecting performance but I completely lack knowledge on the subject
So I would truly love to hear all the opinions as I don't want to make any mistakes before I go ahead and purchase anything, I would really appreciate any guidance please, thanks

First two just take me to general search pages, probably due to regions. Direct links to the item number is usually the way to do it.
Still, if they all have comparable GPUs and CPUs, then it comes down to storage, memory, screen, and cooling.
Higher resolution screen will mean less performance if you try to run games at that resolution.
Better cooling can improve performance more than anything else in a laptop.
More storage is obviously better, but they usually charge very high premiums in laptops. Consider a smaller SSD then add or upgrade it later.
Single channel memory is bad, so products that don't list if the memory is in a single stick or two is a good/bad thing. You can upgrade the memory (unless some or all is soldered to the board)
The Acer is heavier, which should mean better cooling or battery. Most comparisons I find show the Acer having worse battery performance, which means that weight went into cooling. Though these were top end models with big GPUs and high refresh rate displays. ASUS seems available in a 1440p 165hz panel and the Acer with a 1080p 240hz panel.
On the face, I would pick one of the Acer, but please come back with the exact models and prices.

It seems the processor cost is only $80 difference. The rest remains unchanged. All three models have 1080p and 144hz displays, and they share the same battery capacity. They’re roughly similar in weight, which is unexpected compared to what I noticed before. ASUS tends to be a bit heavier, though it’s unclear if that’s due to packaging or actual product weight. The ASUS model includes a 512GB SSD, whereas the other two come with 256GB storage.
