When Ryzen first came out, Intel still used the number of cores to differentiate their consumer and enterprise lines, which meant you could get a bucketload of cores from AMD without paying "enterprise" prices. AMD still tends to have lower actual TDP than Intel, which is more efficient in a laptop and easier to cool in a desktop. If you're going to use the integrated GPU, RDNA generally performs better in games.
