Yea I am not sure what Intel was thinking shipping Tiger Lake i9 in a "thin and light" laptop. I have seen some reviews where the laptop was unable to keep the CPU from throttling and thanks to the 3060 being a 65 Watt TDP which no other laptop on the market has, they can't do any gaming comparisons.

Now either Tiger Lake is behind against AMD in gaming comparisons and that's why they purposefully shipped it or they are very stupid cause one would think if they shipped it on a more powerful laptop like the Asus Strix editions, those should have been able to cool the CPU even at 65 Watts. I think most likely, I might go with AMD unless Tiger Lake dominates in gaming because battery life is very important on a laptop.
