Alfa AWUS036acm worse signal than built-in wifi?

I was wondering if anybody here happens to have a similar experience with this particular adapter.
So long story short, my laptop has a built-in wifi, an intel AC 1550i, and I also have a Alfa AWUS036ACM.

The internal wifi card picks up a whopping (literally) twice as many networks than this alfa does, where my internal wifi seems to pick up around 90 targets, the alfa currently only sees about 40.

Is there by any chance anyone heee that happens to have this same card? Is my internal wificard that good, or is the ACM just underperforming?

Fyi: I bought from an alfa retailer so it's not a knockoff
