The AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX scores 2,127 and 19,403 points on Geekbench's single and multi-core tests, putting it within spitting distance of the Raptor Lake-HX flagship, the Core i9-13980HX. https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Ryzen-9-7945HX-trades-blows-with-the-Intel-Core-i9-13980HX-on-Geekbench.696813.0.html
Almost like this article is written to minimise the impact, AMD beats Intel in single core performance on new CPU. At least this would be the style of title if the case was reversed and Intel was faster.

Have to agree. This site's bias is pretty bad.

For just 18 points? A
1.1% increase in single-core?
The multi-core scores here are 482 points in favour to Intel, which again is just a
2.4% difference. It's basically evenly matched in any case.
The last post was about Intel beating the 6900HS which has ~10,000pts which was significant (+~90%), and while this time AMD is impressive gen-on-gen, it's not as impressive compared to what Intel has released then.
Personally I favor what ever fits best for me. I need a machine that I can compile software on.
Currently that's AMD for me in Desktop and possibly Notebook space.
Since I can't build my own notebook I have go with the best combination of hardware and casing.
Since now AMD and Intel are on par on the notebook space it really depends on the vendors which CPU vendors seem more favorable.
Intel might motivate vendors to have more high end devices than AMD.
That AMD doesn't have highend graphics options this makes it less important for me to go with AMD,
Intel is mostly ok when it comes to FOSS and Linux, except the current ir cam thing of course.

I mean although they're equal on paper, you have to keep in mind that one is drawing 55 W hardcapped while the other is pulling 157 Watts to achieve basically the same results so if you're cooling buying the laptop for mobile productivity, you're basically going to get three X productivity if you go with the AMD system and it will sustain that performance unlike the Intel system which will Throttle Down within a minute or so
