what's going on guys johnathan here with TLD and today we have a 2011 13-inch MacBook Air showdown gonna go head-to-head with the core i5 1.7 gigahertz model versus the core i7 1.8 gigahertz model we're gonna go over the specs performance differences and ultimately if it is worth the upgrade let's go now aside from the obvious CPU different suspects and these are exactly the same both a 13-inch rock and 4 gigs of ram and 256 gigabytes of solid-state flash storage the core i7 model is gonna have a base clock of 1.8 gigahertz and turbo up to 2.9 gigahertz in certain applications likewise the core i5 has a base clock of 1.7 gigahertz and will turbo up to 2.7 gigahertz both of these do feature hyper threading now how does that equate in performance differences in Geekbench 64-bit the core i7 took the cake with a score of 60 to 87 while the core i5 held its own very well with a score of 58 68 now in handbrake 64 bits for a 10 minute mp4 Apple TV to encode the i7 busted that out in 12 minutes and 5 seconds and surprisingly the i5 held in very close at 12 minutes and 12 seconds in Cinebench 11.5 the OpenGL portion the i7 out stood the i-5 slightly with a score of 11.5 for frames per second and the i-5 scored 11.1 3 frames per second moving on to iMovie 11 for a 1080p export the i7 did the job in 4 minutes and 56 seconds the i-5 held its ground again very well doing the same job at 5 minutes and one second now in Photoshop cs5 the i7 performed exceptionally well conforming the speed test render in 57.4 seconds while the i-5 did that in sixty eight point seven seconds so you guys can see there was a considerable difference here and in our final benchmark in Final Cut Pro 10 for a 1080p export the i7 pumped it out in 2 minutes 4 seconds while the i-5 did that in 2 minutes and 7 seconds so I hope you guys enjoyed this video huge shout out to Matt's Macintosh for benchmark and his i7 do the camerawork as well as the visual effects so here's a link to his channel go check him out I guarantee you guys will dig his stuff he puts out some excellent content other than that this is Jonathan with TLD I'll catch you guys later
