Re: i5 and ARM are similar in performance?

BS, that "i7" in 13" MBA is just i5 with marketing pixie dust sprinkled on top. And even that mobile i3 is not whole lot worse - just half the cache and some less essential features fused off. True i7 can only be had in MBP. Any of these processors will smoke A10 in just about any task. Power usage (and device size) and possibly price will be the only downsides. Even Core M will be faster than A10.

No replacement for displacement.
