The big thing to look at here is perf-per-watt and heat output.

For a little bit I had a laptop with a Ryzen 5900HS and though its performance was great, utilizing that performance meant turning the laptop into a cooking surface with fans raging while being plugged into a barrel-style power brick that delivered more power than USB PD could handle. A laptop delivering that same performance without the crazy heat and fan noise while on battery while still delivering good battery life is a big deal.
