Not really. You're effectively buying a CPU then getting a double digit reduction in performance just due to all the speculative execution vulnerability mitigations plus Intel SGX mitigations. Not to mention Intel DRM code is becoming increasingly more problematic, with i915-related kernel panics and hangs becoming pretty common over the last 3-6 months or so.
It's problem after problem and you're paying an unnecessary premium on Intel CPUs over AMD CPUs / APUs. Intel still edges out on single threaded performance, but workloads were single threaded performance is applicable are becoming less of a norm and you're more than likely to see the software you use on a daily basis taking advantage of the greater amount of cores and threads on most AMD processors. If we're talking about gaming, you'd really only be able to perceive a difference with a high refresh screen. Being able to run at a million FPS is great and all except not much use on a 60hz screen (which is pretty common in laptops, you're still paying a fair premium for gaming laptops with 120hz and 144z screens). Frame time consistency is generally speaking more important than just FPS, because that ability to deliver frames reliably will objectively result in less stutter. But I digress...
In laptops, Intel processors are going to run hotter and more than likely thermal throttle. so suddenly that magical single-core boost clock is going to crater and you're back to clocks that nearly in line with AMD.
I'm not really try to sell you on one brand or another. You just need to look at your usecases, benchmarks, etc. and make an educated decision.
