Was over in the Air forum looking for some info on benchmarks and came across a thread where a guy had done some benchmarking showing the 13" 2010 Pro coming up short against the new Air. Curious if Apple did some further graphics tweaking / over clocking on the Air that hasn't made it to the Pro. Or the guy using the Pro didn't apply the summer graphics patch. I emailed him to ask.

Either way, interesting figures...

Maybe the MBA has a newer firmware that leads to better performance. Or the 320m is higher clocked.

The MBA seems to get hotter than the MBP 13.

"When running WoW and Portal, the MacBook Air fans were quite noticeable (53 to 57 dB). The MacBook Pro fans were not noticable above the ambient noise in our lab"
