Just for pure gaming, CPU cache make a lot difference. That's why AMD released 5800x3d with 96 MB L3 give 12900k(30 MB) a home run for the price.
Intel Desktop CPU 11 gen are garbage due to poor reuse of 14nm node and only gives 16 MB L3 while Ryzen 5800x have 32 MB L3.
Due to historical and technology reasons, Ryzen always need more cache to evenly match Intel's gaming performance, it's a fact.
However Intel mobile 11 gen is 10nm and 11800h(24 MB) is a lot better for it have more L3 cache than 5800h(16MB), it's also a fact.
So Ryzen 3 did a great job on desktop doesn't immediately transfer to the mobile world. Acknowledge 11800h is vastly superior in single core performance than 5800h or 6800h is the same as we know 11800h power efficiency is quite poor compares to 5800h.
So please don't assume 5800/5900 even 6800/6900 are the same level of gaming performance as gen 11 or gen 12, they're not. period.
Ryzen 3 mobile chip strike a great performance balance between battery efficiency and gaming performance. Yet the absolute single core still lingers around Intel 10th gen. If the game you play rely heavily on single core or low 1% fps. Intel gen 11/12 is a great boost, otherwise Ryzen is a balanced choice.
Again, pure gaming performance:
Desktop: gen 10 = gen 11 = zen 2 < zen 3 < gen 12
Mobile: zen 2 < gen 10 = zen 3 <= zen 3+ < gen 11 < gen 12
edit - I paid 2400 in August 2021. no regrets.
Everyone one is a freaking expert on here and yet you have never owned both I presume. Anyone can watch Jarrod's Tech but some people test it for themselves. Based on the 2 models I had (and the G15 Advantage Edition that performed identically with its 5900HX on benchmarks with 1Rx8 RAM), I can say, the 11800h is better for gaming. It isn't that much better, but you pick what you want.
Better battery life and a slight loss in performance or better gaming, thunderbolt, pci gen 4, with worse battery performance.

Edit: Also, mine was the 7i version. had a 11800h not the R9 5900

Just sounds like I'll need to replace the RAM...

Setting absolutely everything on high/ultra will probably bog down even the 3080 especially at qhd.
I just watched a few videos on what the best way to setup the game is and was extremely happy with the result.
That said I personally do not think that $2k is worth it for this is a good bang for the buck. If you can live with minor reduction in performance for as low as $800 less the Alienware M15 (3070) or the Asus strix g15 advantage ( rx6800m) make more sense.
However, if money doesn't matter then this is probably as good as it gets.

If the electric bill and longevity of your chip are not a concern then sure get the intel.
While I didn't see 20-30 frame per sec difference like him, I agree, the 11800h is better than the R9 5900HX by 5%-7% in most games.
And longevity of a chip? You are reaching hard on that statement. Let's be real, anyone buying a gaming laptop will replace it in less than 5 years. To act like the power consumption of a mobile chip will make a massive difference in longevity is hilarious. Never heard Intel chips just burning out because "too much power". Come down to earth away from the theoretical realm and back to reality. Many things will fail on a laptop before the cpu on both platforms.
The things that matter are
- better battery performance (amd), slightly less performance, no pci 4 for thunderbolt
vs.
- marginally better performance, worse battery life, thunderbolt, pci 4
Idk what the KW/hr price is for you but pulling a few extra watts doesn't break my bank for my power bill.
