Are you suggesting that ARM isn't a large contributor to those things being possible? Genuinely curious.

- School-Cotton 2y agoWhat makes you think it is a large contributor?
- Topfi 2y agoThe ISA is, according to people far more knowledgable than myself [0], not a significant factor in regards to performance and/or power efficiency on modern CPUs. That's also why both AMD and Intel haven't done a bad job keeping up with Apple on the efficiency front, AMD since the 4x00u series and Intel now with Luna Lake. Nowadays, the OS not having downright broken sleep [1] is what keeps Macbooks slightly ahead, though then again, MacOS makes up for that with other bugs. Cause of that, if one is willing and able to go for a well supported Linux distro, they can in my experience get good battery life regardless of ISA. Essentially, whether on a Macbook with Asahi or a modern x86 notebook with either Linux or an aggressively managed/fixed Windows install, you'll do well. Personally lack the skill for the latter though, my Surface remains scolding hot whilst sleeping even after a fresh install, but c'est la vie...
