You're right, I skimmed over the latter part of your comment. I don't know about your claim that M1/M2 will outperform Wildcat Lake in performance and battery life though, do we know specific figures to be able to say that for sure?
Not sure what you're referring to. 5-10% of different is exactly what I meant by "matching". The real-life battery numbers also don't support your statement, as tested by e.g. notebookcheck.com
And, again, the actual context is Wildcat Lake here, an step down from Panther Lake.
