Some of the power gained with the new architecture goes out the Fan as thrust. That is the seductive part of 'efficiency'. Moving numbers around on paper to accomplish 'savings' means an energy audit is a requirement. You cannot 'audit' your way into remarkable efficiency, and call it revolutionary. Neither can you cart around power in batteries "in Case".
