Go for the better gpu if you want to game. but you don't need a good CPU or gpu for ML. You can do ML with free cloud computing using tools like google collab for example.

Ryzen 7 5800h RTX 3070 8GB |OR| i7 12700h RTX 3060 6GB (Both with 16GB ram) Want to use pc for machine learning and a bit of casual gaming.

Take RTX 3070 because you need a better GPU than a better CPU for machine learning-related stuff.

If you want to learn ML and AI, I recommend the i7-12700h cause it has more core and thread. And you can run any game in this with medium settings or even ultra and high in some games. But anyone purchasing a laptop for Gaming then goes with AMD (gamers' choice with more power and 7 nm processor).

Noob, I believe Tensor cores are much more important for ML, so should go for the better GPU, instead of the CPU.

Omen, If you're still reading and seeking further insights: Astrodynamics and Machine Learning engineer here. A GPU is not really "necessary". Most TensorFlow or PyTorch models for major tasks can be initially trained with CPUs before you deploy them on a cloud service like AWS or Azure. It's more efficient to use AWS or Azure than to rely on a laptop-based ML architecture. As for single-threaded performance, which is critical in my case for tasks like orbit propagations (which, if you are aware, cannot be multi-threaded), Ryzen 7/9 used to be the best. However, Intel seems to have taken the lead now, albeit being more power-hungry, with the same codebase. If you prefer working on the go, I would recommend going for Ryzen 5, 7, or 9. You won't be missing out on much, and your battery will last longer than it would with Intel (speaking from experience, as this is my line of work). Additionally, I would suggest using alternative cloud-based sources for ML, such as Google Colab with TPUs.
