Not sure what you're seeing with regard to the power consumption, but it specifically mentions that the APU is more efficient (which tracks with the die shrink). Between that, the OLED display, and a bigger battery going in, the system should last longer on a charge while performance remains the same.
Yes, read the review of the Verge and it seems that it is slightly more power efficient and runs cooler, so this would help with GPU stuttering to some extent.
I was just checking the specs on Valve's website. And they had listed the APU consumption and the numbers were exactly the same, which led to my confusion.
I guess the screen is absolutely gorgeous too. I was planning to upgrade my GPU next year and buy the 4070 Ti Super both for gaming and productivity but now I am feeling a bit unsure about it.
The power consumption is probably the peak power usage
