Where are you getting these "points" from? Without a real world benchmark I don't see why you're so confident about this.
The video in the OP showed 8 pis, and assuming 4 cores each that's 32 cores total.
A raytracing benchmark would be interesting because you could divide the work up-front and not have to worry about communication between nodes in the cluster, and each node doesn't need that much memory.
Maybe the ryzen 2700 beats the 8 PI cluster, but clearly there's an X number of PIs that will beat the ryzen. Maybe it's X = 10 PIs, or 20, or 200? Idk, but it could also just be 8. There's no way to know for sure without a benchmark.
