On Geekbench's multi-score test, the two tests churned out scores of 4038 and 4475.</p><br /><br/><br /><p>Delving into user-submitted Geekbench data that shows the average performance of each Mac, the 13-inch Mid 2011 MacBook Air with a dual-core Intel Core i7-2677M chip clocked at 1.8GHz scored 2314 on the single-core test and 4646 on the multi-core test — similar stuff indeed.</p><br /><br/><br /><p>Submitted to Geekbench's website, the purported benchmarks of the new MacBook have been deleted but can be accessed on a cached Google <a href="http://ift.tt/1Gi4szB">page</a>.</p><br /><br/><br /><h3>Integrated improvements</h3><br /><br/><br /><p>It's important to note that Geekbench doesn't factor in graphics performance. With a Intel HD 5300 CPU and faster PCIe-based flash storage, the new MacBook will almost certainly outpace the 2011 Air's HD 3000 in several other departments.</p><br /><br/><br /><p>If you're looking to order a new MacBook on April 10, opting for the more powerful model will bag you an ever-so-slightly faster 1.2GHz CPU (Turbo Boost up to 2.6GHz), configurable to a 1.3GHz dual-core CPU (Turbo Boost up to 2.9GHz).</p><br /><br/><br /><ul><br /><li style='list-style: none'><br/> </li><br /><li><a href="http://ift.tt/1Br7riw">Is the criticism of the New MacBook fair?</a> </li><br /><li style='list-style: none'><br/> </li><br /></ul><br /><br/><br /><img border="0" height="1" src="http://ift.tt/1CAI7uA" width="1"/><br clear='all'/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><a href="http://ift.tt/1GjhP2A" rel="nofollow"><img border="0" src="http://ift.tt/1CAI7uH"/> </a><br/><br /><br/><br /><a href="http://ift.tt/1GjhP2C" rel="nofollow"><img border="0" src="http://ift.tt/1CAI5D1"/> </a><br/><br /><br/><br /><a href="http://ift.tt/1CAI5D5" rel="nofollow"><img border="0" src="http://ift.tt/1GjhMUo"/> </a><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><a href="http://ift.tt/1CAI5D7"><img border="0" src="http://ift.tt/1GjhPiQ"/> </a> <img border="0" height="1" src="http://ift.tt/1GjhMUq" width="1"/><img alt="" height="1" src="//feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/allnews/~4/Bhev-0vEGsQ" width="1"/><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/> </div><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />from http://bit.ly/1Ir27Bb<br/></div>
