Only two cores for the air is bad. I would guess that only Apple will be selling a machine with a 2 core 8th gen i5. I can't see one on ark, they're all 4 core

- Dunedan 8y agoAnandtech is suspecting that Apple is using an unannounced 5W TDP Amber-Lake CPU in the new MacBook Air [1]. That'd be an interesting choice as it'd bring the CPU performance closer to the 12" MacBook, than to the 13" MacBook Pro. That sounds especially plausible as Apple claims that the MacBook Air has a ~20% longer battery life than the 13" MacBook Pro, albeit having a ~8% smaller battery.
