I've a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) with an i7 at 3.3 Ghz. Is the new Air with a quadcore i7 going to be a decent CPU upgrade compared to what I got in practical terms, or should I wait for the next Macbook Pro? Consider that I don't want to go > 13" screen size. Thanks.
Relayed story: when I run the Redis test in my Macbook, it is able to stop everything, like if the kernel scheduler was not able to balance between the test and the other tasks, even if I've the Chorome window open and using it. If I open Virtual Box and run the test into a virtualized Linux system, the test runs in a similar time without any usability problem for the other Mac apps. This is how bad scheduling can go, but also how much more efficient the Linux implementation of certain system related stuff can be.
