EDIT: Note, Matthew Moniz compared the 9955HX3D version. This is not the HX3D version.

Big takeaways:
Different chassis, the Intel got the newer chassis, and easier opening of the chassis.
Intel gets a new proprietary power connector, AMD version has a barrel-style power connector.
AMD chassis has light bar on the front of the base, Intel version goes all the way around.
Intel gets Thunderbolt 5.0, AMD has USB 4.0.
Intel version has one more USB-A port compared to AMD.
Intel version gets Windows Hello IR camera for login purposes.
Edit: This is wrong. Internal 2x m.2 SSD layout is slightly different between the two.
Benchmarks are generally close between the two laptops.
AMD unit gets a few degrees C warmer than the Intel.
Intel version has a significantly longer on-battery life for non-gaming (Probably because the Intel processor has efficiency cores where the AMD processor does not).
The Intel had a lower price at the time of filming, and a comparable price ($2K) during Prime Day. Today is one of the rare times where the AMD version is less expensive than the Intel version.
