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.
