Those have a huge tie in with the software, so I wouldn't expect hardware innovation to help.
- coder543 4y agoCPU throttling and battery issues aren’t necessarily related to software at all, but “battery issues” is very nebulous, and I expect (problematic) CPU throttling to be less of an issue with the more efficient chips and cooling solutions that we have now. I didn’t bother addressing those points because it’s hard to know where things were going wrong without a lot more detail. Sleep issues are definitely a hallmark of Windows Modern Standby, but one might hope that will be addressed soon. Supposedly Microsoft is looking into it now.
