How Can I find The Best Laptop CPU for Zoom meetings (going beyond manufacturer requirements)

Hello,


Does somebody know which would be the best set of specifications to consider for a 12th or 13th gen processor for a laptop that must be able to host and stream Zoom meeting for 10-30 people without lag and with high framerate (given reliable and low latency consistent internet connection)

 

For example, would more performance cores be better or efficiency ones ?

Would you say that the internal GPU plays a significant role? 

Does somebody know deeply the requirements for audio-video streaming in such a way that i can choose the better CPU for my necessity?

The idea is that i want to save money as much as i can, i know that i could just throw 1500 bucks or more at a laptop and be safe, but I'd like to spend less, as higher end laptop also have other things i do not need

One road i tried to follow, but i need help to go further down the line, is to look at the hardware specification for Mini PCs certified to work with Zoom, for example i found this mini PC, that mounts either a Core i7-12700T or a Core i5-12500T (https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_5869340-5869384-16)

I understand those are Desktop CPUs and that those PCs will run a specific windows install optimized for a special version of Zoom... but how special is that ACTUALLY? 

Couldn't there be a laptop CPU that performs closely?

Are you aware of it?

P.S
I tried to look at Zooms tech requirements but they seem to be tailored towards people that speak to each other and don't care to be seen by everybody at the highest quality possible. so the specs in that case are very low and thus not true.
As soon as you need to be a little more professional look they throw at you mini PCs with desktop CPUs, or 1800 dollars laptops.

But i'm sure that with the correct knowledge you can find the right CPU.

Thank you!
