Hello! Im searching for laptop in 1000-1500 Euro price range. Main requirement: CPU should be as fast as possible. I dont care about performance of individual cores, I need it to be fast from multicore perspective. Also optionally it should be compact, like macbooks.

Please share your recommendations. Thank you!

Laptop processors don't touch desktop processor performance though.

If you want maximum performance, it's going to be a desktop processor, hands down, no discussion.

The downside is, it becomes bulky due to cooling and power needs. The most powerful laptops will be gaming laptops with desktop processors.

https://www.originpc.com/gaming/laptops/eon17-x/ This is an example of a 7lb beast of a laptop using a high end cpu.

If you want the maximum performance in a traditional laptop, for example one that meets your budget, then the following applies to AMD:

Look at the cpu model. Beside Ryzen 3 5 7 etc, the last letter in the model name, represents the product series. If it’s U, it means that this processor is built for thin-and-light laptops; The HS series is for higher performance model with slimmer chassis and HX is right for those most powerful laptops in the world.

You can pick two things cheap, fast, light but not all 3. It's all a sliding scale of performance to price to size.
