  These are interesting results and make a strong case for AMD over Qualcomm, especially in battery life:

    ASUS S16 (Qualcomm):    13h 39m  
    Apple MacBook Pro (M3): 12h 35m  
    ASUS S16 (AMD):         11h 10m  
    ASUS S15 (Intel):        9h 15m  
  

  Cinebench Multicore:

    ASUS S16 (Qualcomm):   1,138  
    ASUS S16 (AMD):          997  
    Apple MacBook Pro (M3):  716  
  

  Cinebench Single core:

    Apple MacBook Pro (M3): 141  
    ASUS S16 (AMD):         113  
    ASUS S16 (Qualcomm):    108

  I think we are all reaping the benefits of the post-M1 battery life era.

  Not having to charge your laptop for days at a time is fantastic.
