AMD's bet on higher core counts is paying off when it comes to pure multi-thread performance. Nonetheless, Intel still has the upper hand when it comes to AI integration, single-thread performance, and native Thunderbolt support.

Good, but with low supply, no thunderbolt support at all (yes, moan all day if you want AMD fans, but most OEMS are jumping into using just USB-C sadly), and still no premium options like those of Intel Evo label, I cant see it growing more. Renoir arrived and is going away, and there are still stock constraints for it, more than a year later after its announcement. There's also the AV1 decoding issues, too.
Thunderbolt is mandatory for me as my Ultrafine 5K and docking stations can only be driven by that interface.
Yep, AV1 really needs HW decoding capabilities to work properly, and AMD's current APUs can't handle it.
Heck, I might even argue that AV1 HW enconding will end up being useful if it starts being used for video conferencing.

It looks like Rembrandt will be the APU to bring the Thunderbolt and AV1 decode support, sometime next year. No encode yet.
My 2020 Razer Blade 15 Adv has a 10875H and gets an average score of 3850 on Cinebench r20.
Agree that AMD mobile cpu's are promising, but the results are not matching the ~hype~ that has been generated over the past 4 months from what i see.
