Hey there, I’m thinking about buying a laptop for my wife. She’s a professional photographer and might want video work in the future. I’m focusing on the new ASUS ProArt StudioBook 16, but it offers both Intel and AMD choices. I’m considering either the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX or the Intel i7-11800H. The rest of the details are pretty similar—4K OLED screen, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB M.2 (AMD uses Gen 3, Intel Gen 4), and the NVIDIA 3060 GPU. The Intel model has a Thunderbolt 4 port, while the AMD version has a USB-A port instead. Based on her job, which processor would perform better over time? Here are the links for reference: AMD page and Intel page. Thanks!

It mainly depends on her specific requirements, especially regarding Thunderbolt USB-C ports. Still, generally, the guideline is that Ryzen models offer better endurance, whereas Intel excels in handling high-intensity tasks without sacrificing battery life.

It appears the CPU is less efficient compared to I/O, SSDs, and other factors. I’d look into her equipment to see if Thunderbolt could offer improvements.

Her equipment currently doesn't support thunderbolt. For input/output, she relies on external drives using either USB 3.0 or USB-C 3.0 ports. I'm unsure if this setup will change soon. Comparing the Intel i7-11800H to the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX in terms of power is tricky. I've heard Windows 11 might affect Ryzen performance, though a patch is expected. Battery life for the Intel seems shorter; it's good to keep it plugged in often, especially during travel like flights. Some users have tried undervolting the i7-11800H to match the Ryzen's endurance.
