The only real difference between an i9 and an i7 is how it was graded after it finished production on the wafers. i9s are considered to be the best, i7s are considered to be great, i5s are considered to be OK/acceptable, i3s are considered to be hindered/rejects, usually having multiple cores disabled as they have failed QA. AMD also does this, they just rebrand the CPUs under different names, and it gets confusing.
You can see on UserBenchmark, the i7 beat out the i9 by about 9%. Not much, but decent.
And the 13700H beat out the 12700H by about 9%. All that to say, new generations of Intel CPUs are generally better. I have an i7-7700K and I run RPCS just fine, it's the graphics card that will make or break the deal, as Frames per Second is what's really going to put the hair in your soup when playing.
