If you’ve been wondering just how much performance Apple left on the table when it chose a dual-core, low-power CPU for its 2018 update to the MacBook Air, wonder no more. In an apparent goof, someone ran the new MacBook Air on Geekbench 4.3 and then submitted the results to Geekbench’s official browser database.The results are both as bad as you’d expect, and actually not quite as bad. Although “leaked” numbers are always suspect, this one looks pretty legit. The CPU Apple chose was Intel’s new Amber Lake Core i5-8210Y with Intel HD 617 graphics.
