They are not even of same series. 3700U(fastest Ryzen 3000 15W processor) single core is 57.5% of 3700X(not the fastest Ryzen 3000 desktop).

AMD's naming scheme has mislead you.

Renoir is 7nm Zen 2 aka the 4000 series. https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/cores/renoir

Matisse is also 7nm Zen 2 aka the desktop 3000 series. https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/Matisse

Picasso is 12nm Zen+ aka the mobile 3000 series. https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/cores/picasso
