Re: Haswell-Y isn't really suitable for a tablet imho

The Macbook Air looks good and its performance is the sort of thing one wants to compete with future ARMs in tablets.
As to frequency - for the ARM machines the frequencies quoted for a device are normally the maximum and they can down considerably. For Intel the frequencies are the normal running frequency rather than the turbo frequency. Since benchmarks very often boost to the turbo this makes comparison on the basis of frequencies a bit difficult. The ARM devices can normally go faster and there was a bit of a stink recently about Samsung putting in a turbo mode for some tests, the problem is that turbo mode uses a lot of power.
