Meh. CPU performance is not the bottleneck for almost all applications. The memory hierarchy, disk/SSD, and network performance are now much more in the critical path. But these processors meant for low power mobile applications usually skimp on the cache capacity and DRAM memory channels, so that would be a problem.

Not bad, I like the portability aspect. I have a macbook pro retina and it seems a bit much to lug around... wouldn't mind trading for MBAs or this new Macbook
