I don't see this as a comparison between Ryzen and Intel. He compares a custom built PC with a 2017 3.6 GHz 8 core Ryzen to an older 2013 2.3 GHz 4 core i7. He could have replaced his Ryzen CPU with a similar priced intel processor and seen the same performance.

Not really, as 8 core intel chips cost significantly more.
But not the price. If you go the Intel's way, both the cpu and the motherboard are more costly.
