The 2013 MacBook Air: A Significant Upgrade Over its 2012 Predecessor
Hey guys, this is Austin and today I'm here with a speed test and look at the gaming performance of the 2013 MacBook Air. This laptop is outfitted with a dual-core i7 4650u processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a 128 GB SSD. The 2012 model has the same specs but comes with last generation's core i5.
To start, we'll be doing a boot test to see how fast the new air powers up. It's always been quick to boot, but thanks to its much faster PCIe-based SSD, the MacBook Air only needs 11.5 seconds to fire up. This is about 2 seconds faster than the last generation waking from sleep.
On the other hand, there's practically no delay between opening the lid and being ready to go when using a newer air on the right and the 2012 model on the left. To get a better idea of exactly how fast the drive is, I'll be using Blackmagic Speed Test for read speeds. The 2012 Air averaged around 220 megabytes per second, while the 2013 model pulled around 315 megabytes per second. Read speeds are even more impressive with the older model topping out around 420 megabytes per second, with the new Air pulling in over 700 megabytes per second, making it one of the fastest SSDs I've ever tested period.
Since I do a lot of video production, I loaded up a copy of Adobe Premiere CC on the new Macbook Air with 8 GB of RAM and a snappy SSD. Editing videos runs quite smoothly, and with a 1-minute 1080p H264 export, the air needed 4 minutes and 11 seconds - not really very fast but roughly on par with the last generation i7 model.
As far as graphics and gaming performance go, let's start with C Bench. Both laptops are running integrated Intel Graphics - the 2012 model has HD 4000 where the 2013 model has HD 5000 Graphics. While there isn't a massive difference in performance in The Benchmark, the newer model pulls in a score of 24.9 frames per second, where the older version comes in at 19.7.
For a demo of real-world gaming, I loaded up a copy of Minecraft and turned the settings all the way up at the full screen resolution of 1366 x 768 - it's perfectly playable even while flying around in creative mode delivering anywhere between 25 and 40 frames per second in normal gameplay. I had no problems with the air except that it does get fairly warm while playing but never enough to be a real issue.
The 2013 MacBook Air is a definite improvement over its predecessor, coming with a much faster SSD significantly improved graphics and roughly the same CPU horsepower while delivering a huge battery life improvement. What do you think of the MacBook Air? It's a nearly perfect laptop for me, but definitely be sure to let me know what you think in the comments below if you're interested in the full review of the 2013 MacBook Air check it out here and if you enjoyed be sure to leave this video a thumbs up and subscribe to catch more videos like this anyway guys I will catch you next time.
