Not to mention those anandtech SB tests were made using the top line QUAD-CORE SV 3.4 Ghz ( i72820QM ) chip ! i think we can expect significantly lower performances from the actual SB chips that will be used in the next MBP refresh.. i really think/…

backtomac, you got me completely wrong... first of all i didn't call or imply that anyone here is an idiot or remotely even tried to belittle this conversation, it actually seems that this thread is very enlightening and i have been following every…

The difference in between current gen MBP & MBA is not only in disk drive speeds: another point in favor of the 13" MBA that nobody seems to have catch on is that it has 6mb of L2 cache vs. 3mb on the 13" MBP ... I'm sure this also weighs in the…

i was stating that information in regard to a possible explanation to the video stream performance testing i mentioned earlier but i guess you were too busy trying to be a prick and that flew right above you.

Digging further into the MBA's specs i just noticed that the 11" uses 3mb of L2 cache with a 800mhz frontside bus VS. 6mb of L2 cache with a 1066mhz frontside bus on the 13".

Listen i never claimed to be any kind of certified benchmark authority here... i simply opened safari on both MBA's and navigated to the said site, and noticed the 11" was seriously lagging while the 13" ran smooth. Since both MBA's have the same Nv…
