They've progressed notably in terms of total draw power and therefore battery life. Admittedly, not much of a difference when it comes to the overall system responsiveness in basic user workflows. Quoting from the article:

> Ryzen 7 5800U as its most efficient mobile processor to date, citing 21.4 hours battery life on a 53 Wh battery during 1080p video playback with Wi-Fi on, or 17.5 hours in MobileMark 2018’s battery life test

> with Wi-Fi on

Does it matter? Doesn't wifi use specialized hardware?

It's a honest endurance test. Moreover, turning on WiFi implies a little CPU activity (some process is going to keep an eye on it).

Nowadays Intel integrates some Wi-Fi parts to chipset that called CNVi. So it's better to include for benchmark.
