      Why would anyone buy the MacBook Escape, which is still for sale at a higher price than the new MBA?

      Faster base clock and turbo (2.5/4.0) on the escape - albeit 7th gen CPU.

      Does that make for better real world performance? Honestly confused.

      The MBA is using a lower-power 5W Y-series chip. Only benchmarks will tell but I put my money on the escape. Here’s what I think the MBA is using:https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/processors/core/i5-processors/i5-8200y.html …

      Why no 8500Y i7 option, do you think? Will the 12" rMB get the Amber Lake 8100Y m3 in a press release speed bump, or is that product line done?

      Because it's an Intel marketing trick - these are basically m5 processors renamed as i5. MacBook Retina will get a spec bump - dunno when. Apple typically won't kill a reasonably successful product until they've recouped at least 5 years of capital cost of production and R&D.

      Well sure, who cares what the call it, but if Intel is selling a higher binned 8th gen Y series part than the 8200Y, why isn't Apple?

      Do you have a link to such a processor? AFAIK, this is the fastest 8th gen dual core CPU when configured to 7W.

      I take that back. There's a U-series 15W i3 as well - which base clocks higher and turbos the same. My guess is the Retina display on this new Air draws too much power to go higher than 7W on the CPU.https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/processors/core/i3-processors/i3-8145u.html …

      That, or the thermals were engineered around an A series part and Apple plans to re-use the ID on the other side of the transition.

          Awesome. Updated the Wikipedia article on Kaby Lake with this part. I'm sure this isn't the first time Apple has gotten somewhat customized silicon from Intel, but do you remember other examples?

          The best example I can think of is the original 2008 MacBook Air. The custom Intel Core 2 Duo SL9400 (which overheats and shuts down one core :-( ):https://ark.intel.com/products/36689/Intel-Core-2-Duo-Processor-SL9400-6M-Cache-1-86-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB- …

          I remember this now. That machine was a tight squeeze. It's very strange to my mind that Apple would use a cTDP-up Y series chip *and* active cooling. I have to imagine that this machine was originally intended to sport an 11W U series chip, but that something didn't work out.

          Here's some more from AnandTech - meanwhile it's not clear whether the new design is fanless or passive - I can't seem to find any details: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13531/apple-2018-macbook-air-announced …

          I suspect that offloading several system functions to T2 gives the 8510Y a slight performance advantage over other Y-processor implementations. Looking forward to benchmarks.
