Hello,
After the introduction of the new MBA I started feeling a tingling sensation in my banking parts
I have a mid-2009 15" MBP 2.66Ghz C2D 4GB 1067 MHz DDR with a 320GB HD.
My notebook needs are fairly basic and go along the lines of Web browsing, opening word and pdf documents, and playing Rome Total War (ah to be an emperor!
)
I also have an late 2010 27" iMac i5 which I use for word processing, downloading files of internet... nothing really more.
Now, I was thinking of purchasing the new MBA 13" 1.8GHz i7, but cannot get my head around the processor speeds.
If someone could help in explaining how the 1.8GHz i7 on MBA compares with my 2.66GHz C2D in terms of what I do on notebooks.
I apologise if this is a silly question. But, to me a meter per second is a meter per second. Hence a cycle per second is a cycle per second and it stands to reason that 2.66GHz processor is faster than 1.8GHz processor.
Having said that, I think that I am incorrect in that view taking into account the flash memory, newer processors, more cores etc. I would really appreciate if someone could write a quick one to provide some light on the issue.
Thanks.
