Which CPU should I buy for my laptop?

The other day I got an RTX 3060 laptop for 1100 euro and later learned that my RTX can't give its full performance because I have an i5. I informed myself and received that I can change the cpu, however.
My question now would be the CPU for my RTX 3060 Would it fit so that I get the full performance out of it?

You will never be able to change the CPU.

You recently got yourself a laptop on which you still have a warranty and now want to replace the CPU, which would invalidate the warranty, provided that it works at all?

Now is not the smartest idea.

Huh no. I just want to have a new CPU installed for me later

Pl

Later when the warranty has expired? So probably in over 1 year?

You should ask again in a year.

It would of course be smarter to return the laptop and buy one with a more powerful CPU.

However, I'm someone who always takes the easiest route.

Maybe not for everyone. 🤷🏼♂️

You have a soldered CPU, so you can't change it (unless you have some kind of SMD soldering station).

Whether you have a bottleneck always depends on the game. If you're doing fine, there's no need to replace the CPU.

If you want to swap something, you made a bad buy with the Acer. You should have bought a barebone from Clevo and co. They often also use desktop CPUs, which can then be replaced without any problems.

The 08/15 acer part will always stay the way it is. RAM and HDD or SSD is the only thing that can be exchanged.

How did you come to the conclusion that the Intel Core i3-10300h built into this notebook would fundamentally affect the graphics performance in any game too negatively, e.g. Compared to a Core i7-10750h?

How long have you had the notebook in your possession or when did you buy it?

A processor change in modern notebooks has long been no longer possible by laypeople without the appropriate special tools, since both Intel and AMD have been using BGA solder sockets for a long time. In the book mentioned, it is Intel's FCBGA 1440, so nothing from AMD would fit with Ryzens. Even Intel's 11th. Gen. Mobile processors do not fit because they would also need a different soldering base (FCBGA 1499).

There are certainly services that offer such a re-soldering service, but then you will also have to pay corresponding labor and material costs in the middle 3-digit range.

It would be better to exchange or sell this book in a subsequent alternative with an AMD Ryzen 5 or 7 - 4x00h. Note, however, that depending on the book and its cooling options, with multicore processors under load, more or less strong clock rate dependencies in the turbo area with TDP and temperatures are to be expected.
