IMO the only downside of this model is lack of a mux switch, but if you connect a monitor to the usb-c port it connects directly to the GPU bypassing the i-gpu and that makes this laptop really shine. Hope this helps

Side note: I got mine as an open box from best buy for $850 out the door because they screwed my order up and discounted it.

Also, the latter was on sale a few days ago. So if you can, wait for that to happen again.

If you are gaming, then battery life should not be your concern, because both of these will eat the battery quickly in a gaming session. Also, the power of the two will be severely throttled on battery and that's going to make the comparison pointless. So just assume you're going to keep it plugged in for gaming sessions and the power consumption difference between the 2 CPUs is 20 watts (so not dramatic).

The GPU is a 3070ti which is a top 5 GPU right now. This has a Radeon.
Then you have Ddr4 memory vs ddr5 memory.
And this has no MUX switch, which boosts gaming perf by 15%
