I have to agree with him, I had a ryzen 7 and now have an intel i7, graphics were a lot better on the ryzen 7 even though it was a 3-year-old processor.

AMD is better! don't believe in these numbers, when it comes to gaming Intel stands nowhere against AMD.

You're kind of talking confidently like you put two laptops in front of you with AMD and Intel processors, and you say it's better.
