This is directly relevant to a popular discussion[1] on HN less than 2 weeks ago. Even ignoring that there is almost nothing more important than power usage in computer hardware engineering, so improvements are always interesting.

Finally, it is hardly shilling when the linked article shows it still has worse battery life than the iPad 4 or Nexus 7 (and worse than the Surface 2 on Video Playback?!).

To be fair, Surface Pro is the only non-ARM tablet in those charts. It is impressively going neck to neck with a 10-inch Galaxy tab which is an ARM tab.

The Galaxy tab 3 10.1 in those charts has Intel Atom Z2560. And transformer book t100 has Atom Z3740.
