Looking for a new laptop. Are the new Ryzen 4000 CPUs good for video editing with new update?

I am thinking of getting the Asus Zephyrus G14 with the 4800hs and a GTX 1650ti. I have been watching videos and articles saying that Intel is better for video editing because of QuickSync. But now I've seen more reviews talking about the new update with GPU-accelerated rendering, which is supposed to help Ryzen CPUs with render times. The main question I have is, will the laptop have good video playback in Premiere Pro and After Effects (Not much shuttering and able to handle effects). Render times don't matter as much to me :).

    Be aware that all Ryzen "4000" APUs and mobile parts right now are not true Ryzen 4000 CPUs at all. In fact, the Zen3 architecture behind the true Ryzen 4000 CPUs has not yet been released. Rather, all Ryzen "4000" parts right now are all based on the exact same Zen2 architecture as the current Ryzen 3000 CPUs (except those with the "G" suffix, which are all based on the previous-generation Zen+ architecture of the Ryzen 2000 CPUs).

     

    And whatever the Ryzen "4000" APUs/CPUs bring to the table, be aware that you will not have hardware H.264 or HEVC decoding at all. Adobe Premiere Pro still supports only Intel's QuickSync for such hardware decoding (this deficiency affects H.264/HEVC playback performance). However, since version 14.2, Premiere Pro can use NVENC for hardware H.264/HEVC encoding which helps exporting speed significantly.

     

    So, if you expect improved playback performance, you have chosen the wrong brand of CPU given Adobe's complete lack of hardware decoding support for that CPU platform. Currently, you should go for an Intel CPU instead.
