Not really. About half of that is not shipping a Flash player with 
Safari. Apple measured an average 40% run time improvement while web 
browsing with Flash removed from first generation Airs. Don't install 
Flash for Firefox or Chrome and you'll see the same thing.

The rest is Intel's work on the HD and Iris IGPs on the third and fourth 
generation Core i series CPUs. You don't need Apple-branded kit to get 
the same thing.
