I wouldn't understand why someone would still vote for the UHD Graphics 64EU when the Radeon 860M will have better performance especially in games, despite both iGPUs coming with the same amount of shader cores. This here proves that there's a gap in performance due to different architecture and driver maturity of each GPUs. Having use to own a system with Core i3-1215U with the said Intel iGPU and my current system with AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 with the said AMD iGPU, i know there's a clear difference in performance favoring the latter.
