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

  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

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.
