Sure, but a desktop computer with 50% higher scores than a laptop with "laptop version of cpu" will cost less than the laptop (even counting a monitor), so I'm not sure that comparison holds.
For example, an HP Elitedesk 800 mini (very small, so using SO-DIMMs and integrated everything - basically a non-portable laptop) will run you around 800 Euros, while the "equivalent" Elitebook 830/840 will run you 1500 euros. Specs are "similar", same generation mid-level i5, same RAM, same SSD. Main difference is the Elitedesk will have desktop-class CPU. Throw in a cheap HP screen (200 euro - Elitebook laptops have ridiculously bad screens, so that's fair), and you get to 2/3 the price of the laptop.
