You're talking about this video: ▶ this video ? On CSGO, AMD wins on average FPS, ties on 95%, and loses on 99%. On Rainbow Six: Seige, AMD wins on average FPS, but loses on 95% and 99%. On the other 3 games (Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Metro: Exodus, and Battlefield V), Intel wins all 3 categories. So overall, Intel still wins.
If you don't mind watching a video, Linus Tech Tips compared Ryzen 7 & 9 with similar (but more expensive) consumer Intel chips and Ryzen came ahead in basically all tests except one related to high-end gaming: ▶ this video Price/performance of the AMD chips was ahead in everything.
The new Ryzens perform very well, it's even more impressive considering that the Intel chips did not have the Fallout/Zombieload mitigations applied[1], that come with significant performance degradations. LinusTechTips, that used to somewhat favor Intel, did their benchmarks with current patches to everything: ▶ this video [1] link
