Numbers aren't everything. Driver and developer support still count
It's AMD's time and there's almost zero argument other than the on par Single core performance. Other than that, AMD just demolishes Intel in almost every Productivity test.
Don't get me wrong, I used to say the opposite ~5 years ago when Intel was clearly on the lead.

Lmao. Check the benchmarks in Adobe CS and a bunch of professional workloads Intel still leads even though AMD chips have the raw power.

11800h is pretty much on par with the Ryzen 7 5800h so it's actually a good creator choice despite what others think. It may not be as power efficient performance per watt but raw power is there and competitive.

AMD 5800H has a clear lead in productivity and has a significant advantage in power consumption to almost twice more power efficient than the intel 11800H counterpart. The efficiency translates to longer battery life and of course cooler operation, Cooler operation translates to quieter operation since fans won't need to spin that much. Cooler also gives laptop Longevity.

I might be minority here, but when gaming laptop like this shows up, battery life is merely means I can walk to next outlets without turn off my laptop. When on battery those laptop throttle hell out of it, you can't expect any gaming/productivity from battery usage
In terms of power draw, I haven't really seen the cpu go over 50watts in cpu benchmarks. This whole thing about it shooting up to 80watts and 109w pl2 dont show up in actual use to me. The ryzen may get more time in battery, but these are power hungry laptops anyway. An extra hr or 2 for web surfing may be important to some. You also lose out on thunderbolt 4 with amd. Some would prefer intel quicksync over amds igpu offerings. I rather have a mux option, something that most amd gaming laptops have. My biggest gripe of this laptop is being forced to use optimus.
