I've been looking for some data on the idle energy difference between the binned and unbinned M4 Pro. I'm wondering if dropping 2 Performance cores and 4 GPU cores results in a notable bump in battery life.

The ~10% GPU performance boost doesn't seem worthwhile to me, if it meant better thermals and battery that'd be a nice trade off.
