In 2014, we believe that the next A-series chip (probably named the A8) is likely to surpass the computing power of current i5 based MacBook Airs

I hadn't thought of it in those terms but yes a quick back of the envelope and reasonably conservative calculation indicates that should be about the right ballpark for sustained performance. Perhaps slightly less than that. Presumably they'll upgrade the Macbook Airs as well but it does seem a bit of overkill in something that has no keyboard.
