Intel's latest gen is manufactured at 10nm (Intel 10nm is about 100 million transistors per mm^2). That's a lot more competitive with TSMC 7nm, but Intel is having problems producing it in quantity, especially for their higher-end (higher power and heat) processors. Their latest high-end processors are still being manufactured at 14nm. Which is just nuts when Apple and probably Nvidia are being manufactured on TSMC 5nm (about 175 million transistors per mm^2 - nearly 5x the density of Intel 14nm).
AMD could've manufactured at 5nm if they were willing to pay more, but it looks like they're content to stay on 7nm for now. I suspect that decision had more to do with keeping Intel around as a competitor so that AMD doesn't have to face anti-trust investigations. That's how far behind Intel is.
But at multicore performance, the AMD 4700U (8 core/8 thread) and 4800U (8 core/16 thread) processors just wipe the floor with Intel's 10nm CPUs (best are 4 core/8 thread). I would only seriously consider the Intel 10nm processors (ice lake and tiger lake) for lower-end laptops competing with the AMD 4500U (6 core/6 thread), maybe the 4600U (6 core/12 thread). For higher performance, it's AMD on TSMC 7nm vs Intel on Intel 14nm, which is no contest. Intel only makes sense there if you don't care about power consumption at all. That might make sense on a desktop, but it automatically eliminates them from consideration if you're buying a performance laptop.
And keep in mind that AMD's new Zen 3 processors are now showing up for mobile... At this point with Intel 7nm (rumored to be around 200 million transistors/mm^2) still 2 years away at best, I think their only chance is to swallow their pride and have TSMC (or maybe Samsung) manufacture some of their processors for them.

How about with this one? https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp...-2j130av-1
I don't care about touchscreen. I know I want ssd, good processor, 16gb ram. Uses: photoshop, general computing.

Nice to see it becoming available for everyone
I thought it was 3:2 aspect ratio. Perhaps intel variant is
