With these new chips, the best ultrabooks could finally compete on a meaningful level with the incredible battery life of the latest MacBook Pro 14-inch (2023), without compromising on performance. We’ve noted in the past that Meteor Lake could be amazing for laptop batteries, and this is further proof.
The removal of a discrete GPU as a hardware requirement will save a lot of power, as well as potentially creating more space inside a laptop chassis for a bigger battery. MLID claims that laptop manufacturers could be looking at a serious step up in battery life with Intel’s new chips – something that Apple’s MacBooks have long lorded over competing hardware. Of course, the Apple M2 chips found in laptops like the 2022 MacBook Air will probably still just about outperform these chips in terms of raw graphical capabilities (the base M2 is roughly comparable to an Nvidia RTX 3060) – but boosted iGPU power isn’t all Intel has up its sleeve.
