Ah, so it's Intel vs. AMD, basically. This has to be more of a matter of personal preference. Myself, I usually stick to Intel silicon, due to professional reasons (the software I use in my work is better optimised for Intel, and licences are cheaper because they are per-core). But it's not this way for everyone.

Specifically for gaming, you will be better off with the CPU that gives the highest single-core frequency (well, performance really, but usually frequency is a sufficiently good indicator of it). Look for reviews of these CPUs on the net, this should give you an idea which one suits you better. Newer chip is also better, as it will stay relevant for longer. The 12k Intel series is their latest and according to reviews is quite good, so might be worth an investment; not sure about AMD, I don't monitor their lineup.

Apart from that, the display panel is quite different between the two: Full HD (1920*1080) with refresh rate so fast you will have a hard time noticing it, vs. 2K (2560*1440) which is still more than fast enough. For me, laptop screens are a big pain point; I would recommend to look at them side by side and decide which one your eyes are more comfortable with. This includes things like colour depth and contrast, as well. For these 2 models, this is probably the most important difference.

Intel version has a newer memory spec (DDR5 vs. DDR4) with a significantly higher frequency. A nice extra to have if you decide to settle with Intel, but it shouldn't be a decision maker.

The graphics chips and their memory aren't really relevant here, unless you plan to connect a really big external display (or several displays) to your laptop and use them as your main screen. By the time when 8GB of video memory will be below the minimum, your laptop will be sufficiently old and lagging behind in many aspects, not just this one. Regarding the video performance, my 2K monitor is plugged into 1070Ti, and I run BG3 on Ultra with pretty much no issues. Even if Larian will add ray tracing to the game, both of these cards are overkill.

Also, look for things you didn't mention here, such as storage and the potential to expand it in the future. Usually, the faster disk gives you the highest subjective performance increase, because storage is usually the slowest part of a PC.

Something like that.
