The first batch of Apple’s newly released MacBook Air units have already been put to the test, revealing a relatively minor boost to the Air lineup’s speed thanks to slightly faster Intel Haswell processors. The results of a handful of Geekbench stress tests are already available via Primate Labs’ Geekbench Browser, showcasing the power of the ultra-low-voltage Intel core i5-4260U chip powering both the new 11- and 13-inch MacBook Air models. Clocked at 1.4 Ghz, the chip pushed the 32-bit Geekbench single-core score for the MacBook Air in one test to 2,532, while the multi-core score reached 4,781.
