The workload selected for most of these benchmarks is highly MultiThread friendly.
Unsurprisingly, in these cases, more cores == more parallelism == more performance.
The problem is the implied generalization : highly parallel workload work better with more cores, yes.
But how many such workload does users actively use ?
Is that representative of their daily activity ?
Well, of course, it depends. What is the user ? What are his daily routine and his tools ?
This is varied of course.
But frankly, for the vast majority of users, I would be surprised if their primary workload was driven by highly parallelized MT software.

So, seems like something is wrong with Tigerlake performance, atleast on Linux. Dunno if it's heat, power, or scheduler woes.
Zen 2 is still the better choice for CPU performance.
Also, AMD still doesn't have basic things like power monitoring in place yet. Sure it's coming in a few months, but why isn't it already there? Crap like this is why I'd still rather buy Intel, because their stuff is supported and just works.

In any case, usually the business oriented laptops are much better than the "premium" laptop (though Dell's budget lineups are usually similar between consumer and business laptops).
I wonder how the Intel/AMD variants of the Lenovo ThinkPad L15 and L14 laptops compete against each other, since I am currently saving up for the AMD-equipped (Ryzen 5 Pro) variant of the L15 once it will be available in my country (it should be a few more months), and these are amongst the best (iGPU-only, unfortunately) mainstream laptops on the market (the T-series is slightly higher quality, however it's value (not MSRP) has dropped, due to soldered RAM even in the non-S models (one DIMM only there).
According to Reddit users, the ThinkPad L14 is possibly the only current 14-inch laptop with nonsoldered RAM.
