I'm sure intel battery life is still better optimized at this point, but my ryzen laptops do probably 8+hrs idle and 2+hrs intense (i.e. gaming, video calls, etc.). Which is good enough for me.
I forgot that back in 2018 there was a kernel bug where ryzen couldn't sleep or wake from sleep, but that's been fixed for so long I'd forgotten about it. Haven't seen sleep/wake issues in probably 2-3 years at least.
That sort of battery life is fine for me. I don't need to do much heavy work on the road, I just want something that will last a day of fairly frequent web-over-wifi use at a reasonable brightness. I don't do much gaming while travelling, and if I think I will be, I just take my Switch.
I also pick my laptops based on being able to charge by USB-C, and I travel with a big PD-capable power bank. So I'm never really stuck for power.
