Both aren't scoring 8x as the linear core count suggest, but a bit above or below as the underling architecture shares resources or not.
For example one thread on that Intel processor can access all the L3 so that explains the better score than even other Intel's 5GHz CPUs (8086k with 2800 points).
Each Zen2 core can access half the L3 on die, with higher latency too, but that means with more cores under work it scales better as there are more resources left available: it's made for server workloads and scales very well accordingly.
With that said the 20% difference in single thread is somewhat misleading as most high end AMD processors today are much closer to Intel's on many benches as other have pointed out. Maybe it would be better to point out what individual sub-test favour each architecture?
