The new MacBook Air surpasses its predecessor in speed

How could it be otherwise been a week since the MacBook Air was introduced and are ready Benchmarks of these new models that are intended to assess how they have improved their performance over their predecessors. If you remember we did mention the Geekbench test proves that yielded some surprising results, comparing this with the Apple powerbook g4 battery from the end of last year.

Macworld has been in charge now a much more comprehensive test assessing things like decompression of folders. Zip format, encoding songs from AAC to MP3, etc. If we take the 11-inch MacBook Air compared to the same previous-generation model (1'6GHz i5 processor with 2GB of RAM and Apple macbook pro battery against the last Core 2 Duo 104GHz).

2.4 times faster in Cinebench CPU test
Handbrake 2.3-fold
Half time to convert an MP3 file on a CCT
18% faster to duplicate a folder 2GB
46% faster in compressing a 4GB folder and unzip 29%

It seems that the only data in the new model comes off worse is the graphics card related. As you know, above the 11-inch model mounted an Nvidia GeForce 320M graphics unlike the Intel HD 3000 Graphics is integrated into the processor, which might deter gamers to purchase this laptop that equipped with Dell inspiron 1420 battery.

These are just some of the results can be read from the graphs that you attach. If we consider the Dell inspiron 1520 battery, the data are not as spectacular as in the previous case but in most situations analyzed the behavior went from 10 to 20 percent better than its respective predecessor model.

In short, the changes introduced by Apple have been very successful, offering the consumer a product that fits very well with most things we need from day to day, especially in the entry model of 11 inches that is arguably more than twice as fast as its predecessor in many ways.

As we said long ago, this is a laptop that equipped with a HP pavilion dv2000 battery and that is among the most balanced that exist if we consider factors such as mobility, light weight, small size, speed, power and ease of use.
