You guys intentionally compare to 4700U while there is 4800U with 8 Vega cores and multi threading?
Time to move on to another site. bye.
Ah, the mythical 4800U. I can only guess the problem is that they've tested only one laptop with 4800U and it just might be too heavy for this company (it's like 40 % heavier or something). We could argue about their selection of competition all we want, the reality is that it's easy to add your own and make your own conclusions. I do it frequently, comparing to what I want rather than what they chose for me. The only shame is that I can't easily remove the models I'm not interested in.
So, I went ahead and added the only 4800U laptop into the GPU benchmarks. Yes, it's better than 4700U equipped Swift 3. But it still got spanked by the 1165G7 in Swift 5. It didn't claim even a single victory (got very close, practically even, in Witcher at ultra graphics, but that was it and it was unplayable anyway at those details; reduce to high details and Intel is ahead by 30 % in Swift and 55 % in the reference design). I didn't bother with CPU benchmarks. It wouldn't change much. Generally, it would win where 4700U won and lose where 4700U lost. If the 4700U can't win with double the number of cores, SMT probably won't save it (that would have to be a quite specific case where SMT has a very big impact).
Sure, it's entirely possible the Yoga Slim 7 is among the weaker laptops with 4800U (just as the Swift 3/ 5 could be weak for 4700U/ 1165G7). It's the only one in the database.
