Solved! Battery capacity vs CPU wattage

[Wayss37]

So is the CPU tdp relevant to the laptop's battery life, or is the battery capacity the most important factor, since any CPU can lower it's power consumption if needed?
Say 6 core Ryzen vs 2 core U CPU
Thanks!

it relevant depend on what you are doing.

Sure, but if you do the same task on both, like light tasks, would they consume relatively the same amount of power?

If you mean low cpu usage. then battery capacity matter more.
tdp is just the max/high end.

Yes, I meant the battery consumption by different CPUs doing the same lightweight task. Thanks! I sort of assumed that U CPUs have to be somehow more energy efficient, whilst I realise that thats not necessary, and depends on the architecture itself more, probably

mostly same gen intel are the same, U just have lower TDP to keep it cooler.
