The future MacBook Air would be a disappointment? In any case, this is what several rumors has, published in recent days.The 13 -inch computershould surface in the coming months, but according to information from Geekbench, the power level of such a device would be quite close to what we already know.
Regarding the chip used in these tests, Apple would have bet on an M4 processor of 10 hearts with 24 GB of unified memory. If on paper such a motherboard promises high -level performance, the benchmark made on this device only displayed a score of54 806. For comparison, Apple's latest iPad Air reached54 023.
No fans, no performance
Very close results which are explained by the deliberately very fine design of the two products. The MacBook Air and iPad Air, as their name suggests, are designed to be fine and light, facilitating the transport of these nomadic devices in essence. But these marginal gains have made a size sacrifice, that of fans.
Thermal management is therefore very complicated on these devices, in fact reducing the performance level of the computer. To understand how important this parameter is in the search for computer performance, aMacBook ProEquipped with the same M4 10 Coeurs chip and 24 GB of unified memory, will easily get a score of57 477.
A new MacBook Air for Mars?
Apple should nevertheless launch a new version of its MacBook Air,Equipped with a M4 chip, for the beginning of March. The arrival of the iPhone 16th this week could therefore kick off a series of ads on the side of Apple, unless the Cupertino firm decides to group its devices to come in one and same conference.
For the time being, the privileged hypothesis would be that Apple launches these devices (MacBook Air, iPad, iPad and Accessories) one by one, with a YouTube video and a press release, as was the case a few days ago For the iPhone 16th.
