You have CPU frequencies, cache type and sizes, memory bandwidth and so on. If you just want to crunch numbers, the memory bandwidth wont do you any good. If you want to reencode a 4K movie, well you have to move in and out that entire movie, frame by frame from the memory to the CPU at some point, so memory lines and speeds are critical... As we can see in the table, the CPU benchmarks on the web say the desktop is 2.19 faster than the laptop (this is on a per-core basis)... For my records, I hiked El Torreon which is the highest point in Cadiz on 2017-11-01.
