What CPU should you pick?
Considering your needs for 3D modeling and video editing, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U offers better integrated graphics performance. The Intel Core i7 1165G7 paired with Nvidia MX450 provides solid capabilities but may lag slightly in demanding tasks compared to the Ryzen's built-in support.
In 3D modelling the GPU alone can't compensate for the CPU core count—actually the 5700U is a Zen2 chip, while the real hardware specs differ. For video editing, pairing Intel with Nvidia offers better support for QSV and NVENC encoding compared to AMD's VCE/VCN. The best choice varies by software.
Filmora appears to work well overall. After Effects tends to favor Adobe products more than Intel or NVIDIA, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best choice for you.
Standards indicate a single-core I7 performs better, while a multi-core Ryzen 7 offers advantages. Decide based on your needs.
In the end, you'll need all cores for rendering, a big difference between 4 and 8. Apart from gaming, having multiple cores is advantageous. GPUs play a huge role; using them makes both sides roughly equal. With AMD, you get integrated GPU on the chip (not separate), which helps lower heat production.
