Intel® Core™ i5-8250U Processor (1.6 GHz base frequency, up to 3.4 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, 6 MB cache, 4 cores)
1 TB 5400 rpm SATA
8 GB DDR4-2400 ram
NVIDIA® GeForce® 940MX (2 GB DDR3 dedicated

It won't be a speed demon but it should run on lowered settings. Might have stuttering if you're moving quickly and the slow hdd has problems loading up the new areas.

Looks like you'd have to run medium at 1366x768 for it to be smooth. Up to you if that's acceptable.

Which criteria is best suited for games . Does lower cpu base frequency got something to do with the issue reg games. Was planning to take i5 8 th gen laptop with a base freq of 1.6 Ghz ( 4 cores ) with 2 gb gpu and 8 gb ram .. .. what s the recommeded cpu and gpu settings for high end games .. will i7 help perform better

 

[J_E_D_70]

For games it's mainly gpu but cpu, ram, and disk speed (depending on game) is important as well.

Without spending a good bit more, AAA gaming will require lowered resolution and settings.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from britto.bharathy : "Which is a better laptop in terms of gaming and multi tasking"

https://www.hpshopping.in/hp-pavilion-x360-14-ba073tx-2fk60pa-1.html

Or

https://www.hpshopping.in/hp-pavilion-14-bf125tx-2sl88pa.html

The 14-bf125tx is better for multi-tasking due to its higher core count (4 cores/8 threads vs 2 cores/4 threads of the x360) and higher/faster RAM (12GB 2400MHz vs 8GB 2133MHz of the x360).

However, both are just geared towards office-work use and not considered as gaming laptops (slow 5400rpm HDD, weak GTX 940MX GPU, weak CPUs).
