Is it just me or the latest chips from Intel look relatively better? I meant the Ultra Core 1 and 2.

Better than what they previously had: Yes, with a but. Better than the competition: Overall no.
It's because the 'core' compute part of the chip is actually made by TSMC. The surroundings are made by Intel it's own fab.
More power efficient, yes. "Better" no. They're objectively slower than the 14th gen, which is pretty pathetic for a new CPU release.
