M2 Air has a bigger battery pack than M1 Air.
M2 is also just more efficient than M1 because the A15 is much more efficient than the A14.
Anandtech showed this in their A15 review: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16983/the-apple-a15-soc-performance-review-faster-more-efficient https://www.anandtech.com/show/16983/the-apple-a15-soc-perfo...
So even if the chip heats up more, it's still going to be more efficient.

For context, my M1 throttles down about %15 at room temperature after about 10 minutes on very heavy load. I'm curious about the benchmarks and stress tests. Would be very cool if it is actually significantly better than the M1 on everything.
