"According to this supply who saw reside A5 MacBook Air truly, this test machine performed superior than expected," says Macotakara, the web site which broke the story.
Healthful experimentation
It's not clear no matter whether the Air was running iOS observed on iPads, iPhones and iPod touches or the full-on Mac OS X Snow Leopard that the Air presently gives.
If Apple does release an Air running an A5 chip, it could imply headaches for application developers whose application would need important modification to be able to play nicely with all the ARM architecture.
Moving from the Intel processors to the A5 chip could see the slim Mac notebooks enjoying longer battery life thanks to the low-powered processor.
But, as with all Apple rumours, we'll need to await an announcement before we know something for sure; the newest rumblings peg the next MacBook Air reveal for June/July
