it depends; 

on HP prebuilt that come with APU, usually you CANNOT change the default reserved 2GB; even if the system has a discrete GPU. So if you have 16GB of ram you will never be able to use more than 14GB no matter what since BIOS is locked down.

Is this true that Ryzen uses more RAM than Intel i series?

Well Intel also have iGPUs that reserve RAM.

So still - it's even.

From what I've seen, AMD's APU's always use 2GB of system memory by default. But I think you can decrease and increase it.

it depends; 

on HP prebuilt that come with APU, usually you CANNOT change the default reserved 2GB; even if the system has a discrete GPU. So if you have 16GB of ram you will never be able to use more than 14GB no matter what since BIOS is locked down.

So, for example Ryzen 7 5800H mobile uses more ram than i7 10850H mobile. Right?

You can change the dedicated RAM in BIOS most likely.

that is total speculation, I wouldn't count on it. Most OEM's lock down the BIOS especially on laptops. I would lean towards assuming it CANNOT be changed unless or until you know otherwise.
