The arstechnica review shows a rather average battery life: 491 min @ 200nits with the 7840U. That's a pretty stark difference with this review here.

I looked to more reviews to break see if there was consensus. So far, AMD seems to win comfortably on battery and efficiency for most reviews I've seen.

Two of these additional sources would be Notebookcheck and Jost Josh.

EDIT: this explains why Ars' review isn't in alignment with the consensus: https://old.reddit.com/r/framework/comments/16ytxjd/saved_you_a_click_16x_better_battery_life_if_you/k3ar79v/?context=3
