To get even comparable power then the Ryzen 4000 series you'll have to spend significantly more to get a model with at least an Octacore.
In relation to energy efficiency they have zero chance to even tackle AMD, by that I mean even the "old" Ryzen 4000 series.
By going for the end of the line Intels you'll face a lot more throttling issues, at lot more battery drain.
Why do you think Apple has moved towards the M1?
Intel is a fucking mess, and by buying their chips you give them more money to keep their destructive machinery running.
By that I mean also that they're the reason the tech market supply chain is broken as fuck - that includes car-parts, bluetooth chips and everything else.
If you want that to continue go ahead buy an intel powered machine. Also if you really need the 5% additional power do it. If you feel more comfortable buying a machine with an Intel sticker do it.
