Best value-for-money second-hand laptop processors for Ableton 12

[baseinstinct]

It used to be thinkpad x230's i-5 3320M for some time according to some sources - extremely cheap given the overclocked performance it delivered per dollar.

I wonder what that looks like in 2024, considering both the generalised performance to price and ableton architecture. Read in this forum that 12th generation processors are not put to full use with their efficiency cores, there are some voices about less than full use of Apple's new lines, recurring AMD vs Intel battle, etc.


What are the best bang for the buck processors now? Which series to avoid?

Any issues in Ableton use of AMD Ryzen 5 5500? It shows very high in the ranking published here:

I am aware there are elements in a laptop, so let's assume 16gb, ssd, windows 10/11, integrated graphics, no gaming plans.
