I haven't actually tried those two games on my Ryzen 2700U notebook.

But Overwatch, Battlefield 1, Call of Duty: WW2 were hitting 1080P native... Which is certainly a step up over what my base Xbox One machine can do... Or I can dial back the resolution to 75% scale (Which fits the bandwidth better) and dial up some of the effects.

The thing with Ryzen notebooks is that Ryzen has a configurable TDP and some notebook manufacturers limit it to 15w instead of 25w.
Some notebooks also only come with single channel DDR4...
And some notebooks (like mine) actually allow the DDR4 to run at 2666mhz rather than 2400mhz.

And some notebooks aren't limited to 12 month old driver sets. (I hacked mine.)

Some games are problematic on my Raven Ridge 2700U notebook. I hope that gaming performance gets a lot more stable when I can finally update the GPU driver from 2017 to 2019 in a few months. But I don't expect Xbox One performance.

You would be surprised how well the 2700U can pull ahead. - If you limit your CPU's clockrate, the APU will allocate more TDP towards the GPU... And that translates to performance gains in GPU limited scenario's, sometimes significantly...
Ironically the 2500u actually ends up faster than the 2700u in some games due it's slightly more conservative CPU clocks, meaning more TDP thrown at the GPU.

In most games that are shader heavy, the 2700u will sit around the Xbox One level, which isn't a high benchmark to reach to start with.

Ryzen 3700u should bring with it a good 20% performance improvement... Thanks to process gains. - And hopefully AMD fixes their terrible idle power consumption, Ryzen 4700u will be where Ryzen mobile will beat the Xbox One definitively though, maybe approaching the PS4. Calling it now.
