How is it getting better battery life? Are OLEDs more energy efficient or does it have a bigger battery?
Bigger battery> 6nm processor (less energy)> OLEDs more energy efficient> Better cooling (new bigger quiet fan)> Faster wifi 6
from 30% to 60% more battery life (variable)
Aside from the bigger battery, the APU got a die shrink (7nm to 6nm). With the same performance target it directly translates to better efficiency.
Bigger battery. From 40mah to 50mah.
