AMD is on par/beating 14th gen with the 7800X3D in many titles. These CPUs are not meant to be top of the line, they are for using silicon that did not meet the quality for higher CPUs.

I would love to own an AMD laptop if there were any available that seemed reasonable. I really wanted to get a laptop with a 6600U to replace my 5 year old i7-8750H/1050Ti unit, but nothing with a 6600U was remotely reasonable. Everything started at $1500, at that point I’d just bit the bullet and get a Macbook.
