It is indeed - and aside from Intel vs. Apple it's true more widely (e.g. Intel vs. AMD).
Better != obsolete though, although I'm sure it suits Apple for people to think that.
I have similar issues with my work laptop - it's a recent Dell i7 but still sounds like it's about to take off sometimes. Sounds like the M1 chips are ideal for laptops.

I really didn’t. The performance of the Apple M-series chips is way better than the Intel chips Apple were using previously. I’m still using a ten year old Intel MacBook Pro on a daily basis and it will definitely keep me warm during the Winter, but the sound of the fans ramping up every half-hour or so gets pretty annoying.
