Any idea why the processor is only 1.5? I have a 2011 Model with 1.8ghz

  Does your 2011 model have 3 Ghz turbo boost? That's just how modern processors work - lower clocks but still higher performance.

    This is the correct answer. 'Base clock' is just the steady-state clock speed given power and thermals. Boost clock is more relevant in general usage.

    I looked up the specs - the 2011 1.8GHz was an i7-2677M. It did have a Turbo Boost up to 2.9Ghz.
