Please stop quoting fucking press releases at me with LOWER POWER bolded. It doesn't make it true!

Nothing you've shown me shows that Haswell consumes less power, as measured on real things that exist, while maintaing the same performance, again on real things that exist.

Haswell consumes less power than IB for the same performance. Take a look at a 2013 MacBook Air review. Last years MBA used a 1.8ghz( up to 2.8ghz turbo) i5 IB (1.7ghz i5 in the 11"), but this years MBA uses a 1.3ghz (up to 2.6ghz turbo) i5 Haswell. Performance remains consistent between this years MBA and last years MBA, but the battery life had a substantial increase. Last years 13" MBA had a 7hr Max battery life and this years model has a 12hr max battery. Pretty much everything is the same between the 2012/2013 MBA except for the Haswell CPU. The CPU now uses less power and can perform similarly at lower clock speeds which improves battery life.
