But that’s only a feeling for now, we’ll have to wait for some reviews before drawing conclusions. However, if you’re after a new ultraportable today, the 2014 MBA is not only going to be slightly, slightly faster, but also somewhat more efficient, as it packs a more refined Intel Haswell processor. In practice, you’ll hardly seen any speed improvements over the older version, so if you already have a 2013 Macbook Air, there’s absolutely NO reason to upgrade to this Early-2014 edition.
However, the base version of the MBA packs a newer Core i5 processor ( Intel® Core™ i5-4260U), clocked at 1.4 GHz (slight bump from the 1.3 GHz i5 in last year’s base model), with TurboCache up to 2.7 GHz (2.6 GHz on older model). We’re still talking about Intel’s Haswell ULV line, with Core i5 and Core i7 CPUs bundled with Intel HD 5000 graphics.
