This is easy to disprove. The Snapdragon X Elite has significantly better battery life than what AMD or Intel offer, and yet it's got the same number of cooks in the kitchen.

Same thing happens in Apple land: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44745897. My Framework 16 hasn't had this issue, although the battery does deplete slowly due to shitty modern standby.



X Elite is not better than Ryzen5. Not better at all! Its why i own a hx365 AMD laptop...


Do you have a source on that? From every benchmark I've looked at the X Elite gets similar battery life to Apple Silicon, pretty far ahead of AMD.
