PRELIMINARY RESULTS AND THOUGHTS:
Running 3Dmark and Novabench on both laptops, the i9 8-code processor on the MacBook Pro easily smoked the i7-9750H 6‑core on the Razer. For CPU intensive apps, the MacBook is easily a far more capable laptop.
For graphics and gaming, the AMD Radeon Pro 5500M with 8GB of GDDR6 memory on the MacBook Pro was respectable, but about 15-20% lower specs and rendering times than the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 on the Razer. The Razer Blade Studio remains a fantastic gaming laptop despite the slower CPU, but the MacBook Pro is clearly it’s equal or better when it comes to most everything else and especially virtualization.
