Going by TSMCs claim of 30% better power consumption at iso-speed would put the battery of the G14 at 11-12 hours. So that places the Apple system on a 25-36% better battery range, instead of 80-100%.
And still, there are more catches: Apple is probably driving the screen at 60Hz instead of 120Hz for the G14, and the screen tends to be one of the main drivers of battery life.
What I'm trying to say is that the talks revolve around the M1 vs x86 for battery consumption, but the big savings can probably come from other components in the system.
