CPU performance is nearly identical. The only noticeable difference is the iGPU and compatibility with Linux. AMD CPUs work better with a wider selection of Linux distros. Intel ARC B390 iGPU is far better than AMD's 890M.

It'll vary by laptop, but the battery life tests I've seen find the 358H lasts hours longer than the HX 370 in real-world use.

Actually intel CPUs are fully supported in linux, pretty much the same as AMD CPUs, problem possibly can be with GPU drivers since that is still relatively new
