According to https://www.notebookcheck.net/ , a framework 13 with a Ryzen 7840U will run out of battery 22% faster than the macbook but will outperform the macbook by 85% on some benchmarks. I wouldn't pick the mac.

Would you recommend the Intel or AMD version? I’m not very updated on what distinguishes the AMD.

Framework: Repairable MacBook: Not Repairable
Winner: Framework.
Apple does flat-rate repairs for Mac laptops that haven't been damaged by impact or liquid damage. If they can perform a repair cheaper in-store, they usually will do so, but I am going on old info from being a repair tech at an Apple Store a decade ago. You could ask an Apple Store employee to get the cost of flat-rate repairs from a technician and then you'd know what you're potentially looking at. I've owned many Mac laptops and only needed a repair on one (and that was still under warranty).
I'm a Mac nerd who's fascinated by Framework laptops. I don't think either decision would be wrong. I haven't got to test drive one, so I can't offer an informed opinion beyond what I've said here.
I am not very familiar with framework but I did switch from macbooks to a dell gaming laptop years ago and I am so glad I did.
The macs are ridiculously expensive, and even if you break just the charger it costs a lot to replace. My laptop now I was able to get for nearly half the price and it runs games and programs that I used in college better than the mac ever could.
Every mac I ever owned completely died in 4-6 years of purchase. They're basically guaranteed to not last a long time. My guess is you're better off with getting a framework
