And there won't be any RAM or SSDs or video cards to put it to good use.

AMD TDP 55W.
Intel TDP NA².
That basically makes the comparison worthless.
Yes it's a bit faster, but if the TDP is higher, it's a totally moot point. Obviously AMD can make chips faster at higher TDP too.
They've caught up though and from what I read intel has some really good battery management baked in
Last I heard Intel had a lot worse PPW than AMD, especially on multi-threading, also CPU Mark is not a very good benchmark AFAIK. The indication of the test if you miss the TDP part is that Intel has not only caught up but also surpassed AMD.
That would be great if true, but this test does not have enough info to be worth much. Let's wait and see when the real data arrives.
