I am going by compute benchmarks, which should be relatively unaffected by the OS. (The OS could slow them down if it really wanted to, I guess.)

Those benchmarks don't seem to account for batteries.

I hook my 2018 MacBook Pro up to a 4K TV to present to a meeting and the battery goes down to about 35% after two hours.

2 hours is a reasonable amount of time for something like this.
