Dropping the M2 into the same entry level Macbook Pro they sold last year gains you a couple of hours of battery life as well as a performance increase.

That's pretty impressive for staying on the same process node.

Truly amazing, most people (including me) thought after M1 perf gains will be marginal

That battery life test is understating the advantage Apple has over x86, probably because it's idling too much. The gap in a more CPU intensive web browsing test is more like 2x more than competing x86 ultralights [1].
