Moin,
i am not a gamer, but i had looked around for a new laptop because of its performance.
If you look at the benchmarks, you have to realize that not only the price/performance ratio is better with AMD than with Intel, AMD also leads the benchmark lists. (https://www.cpubenchmark.net/laptop.html)
I therefore do not understand how you can decide to go with Intel. My suggestion is to look for a laptop with for example AMD Ryzen 7 4800H at Acer, Asus or Lenovo. Probably they are not even half as expensive as Apple.
Have fun comparing
