Weren't there some rumors earlier this year that Zen4 processors would feature an IGP? That could explain the extra power of the new chips that would go, mostly, for that. The thing is that I don't remember if those were the rumors that were proven false or not.
As for the leaked performance of Alder Lake... well, it's not great, but I think that this kind of hybrid processors will need help from MSoft, with an update to Windows that helps with the threading and such. We'll have to wait until it launches to see if MSoft launches an update to Win10 that increases the performance of those chips.
