Intel is cherrypicking benchmarks where the boost-on-battery behavior is worse. If you look at Cinebench, Handbrake, etc, they don't show a comparative deficit. And there's even benchmarks that show the opposite: Intel waits too long to boost on battery for e.g. Blender and performance suffers in those benchmarks.

And, of course, short benchmark runs suffer disproportionately for those integrators who chose to put a delay-before-boost timer in to improve battery life.

Basically, Intel is grasping at any straws to show performance parity to AMD at this point... and now I will be even more hard pressed to take anything coming out of INTC marketing seriously.
