Doesn't do much for idle screen on time and browsing endurance AFAICS from benchmarks. How much lighter does the load have to be?
Keep in mind, there's a minimum power threshold in those two benchmarks where lower CPU power consumption wouldn't have a material effect on battery life.
Think about the minimum power needed to keep the memory DIMMs active, run the screen backlight, the WWAN card, the PCIe bus itself, the NVMe disk(s), CMOS and RTC, and whatever else needs some minimal power trickle to stay alive. Let's use my Gigabyte Aero v8 as an example, because I have some numbers on it... If the laptop is truly doing absolutely nothing except sitting at the desktop of Windows 11, I have logging showing the total package power of the i7-8750H with 32GB of memory can drop as low as ~350mw -- which includes the CPU, iGPU, IMC and PCIe controller components. In this state, the laptop has about an 8Whr burn rate on a 93Whr battery -- so about 11 hours of total run time. That's ~7.6Whr more power than the CPU is consuming and is mostly linked to the backlight of the screen, the NVMe drive in a power saving state, the WWAN card doing background things, the bluetooth adapter talking to itself, the fans actually don't turn off so that's another bit of power burn...
If my CPU consumed literally no power at all, the total idle-only battery life of my laptop wouldn't move by even so much as 30 minutes. Now if I'm surfing the web? Yeah, the CPU will kick up briefly from time to time as things load up, but we're talking little spikes of a few watts until the page fully loads. The big power consumers still end up being the backlight, the WWAN card, and the NVMe drive to some extent. The total package power of the CPU socket still wouldn't rank in the top 3 power consumers of the device for any more than a few seconds tops.
You asked the right question but seem to have expected a wrong result: how much lighter does the load have to be? It doesn't, that point was achieved several years ago. The rest of the laptop is what needs to be addressed.
