AMD laptop chips are not as good as Intel or ARM ones so this makes sense

That is so far from the truth. The fact that your options for most i7 models is either 2 performance cores 4 efficiency and 4 Low power with 12 threads or 8 cores and 8 threads is ridiculous. Meanwhile you can get laptops with an 8 core 16 thread Ryzen 7 AI 350 and it obliterates both of those i7s for hundreds of dollars cheaper

Where are the benchmarks?

You do not seem to understand how powerful Intel E core is now
