I haven't done much research, and i know that people don't like linus tech tips, and i understand that, but they competed the 1185g7 against the 4800u, with Vega 8, and was besting it by a pretty decent amount in games.
I'm really not that interested in APUs so as i said i haven't done much research into it but i really have no reason to expect LTT is specifically fibbing these numbers.

When it comes to laptop parts, that's a bit harder to find. I was actually referring to desktop parts since data there is more reliable, but ironically it's tricky because neither AMD or Intel have modern desktop parts with an iGPU that are direct competitors. The 3400G is rather outdated (it's basically an early 2018 product) and is a performance tier above the i3-10100. It loses out to the 10400, but it's also a lot cheaper than that.
