Here's how much slower (and faster?) Apple's new MacBook Air is than Dell's XPS 13

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.
