I begrudgingly switched to Intel some time ago because of Thunderbolt 4 and AMD's lack of support for Thunderbolt in general, especially in budget-friendly lines (around $1000 USD in my case). There were also weird virtualization issues with AMD compared to Intel. Now it's getting better, so I'd consider it for my next laptop, but for those who dock a ton of peripherals and monitors, I recommend strict Thunderbolt 4 compliance - which again, I hope more AMD-powered machines can bring to bear.
