After running the beta on my laptop, I'd call it an incremental improvement - but that's still an improvement. Running powertop on hardy, the number of wakeups per second I saw with all the power saving suggestions taken was around 125-150. On intrepid, it does around 25 wakeups per second under the same conditions, which should tranalate to longer battery life.
