For sure, yes, it's a SoC, but I'm still going to wait for a complete "on the shelf" system to make an appearance before holding my hopes too high. Leaked releases are about as useful as "New solar cell technology yields 50% more efficiency" announcements.
What is interesting is that they only mention the elevated power consumption in relation to video playback (720p) which is something that'd likely be handed off to a dedicated section of silicon, not something done in the general purpose CPU core. Hopefully we can get some more comprehensive data soon so we can all stop speculating.
