Battery macbook air 2011 11 inch9/9/2023 Max power consumption is likely lower on the new MBAs, although typical power consumption could be higher as Sandy Bridge cores are significantly faster than the Core 2s used before. The 17W SNB parts include memory controller and GPU, leaving only the chipset at 3.4W. The previous generation used a 10W part for the 11 and a 17W part for the 13, but remember those figures didn't include NVIDIA's GeForce 320M which is good for at least another 14W under load, and probably a watt or two with the GPU idle. While the previous generation MacBook Air used an NVIDIA chipset with integrated GeForce 320M GPU, Apple is relying entirely on Sandy Bridge's processor graphics this round.Īpple opted for ultra low voltage Sandy Bridge CPUs all with a 17W TDP. The cases are simply too small to accommodate any 32nm quad-core parts.Īlso NVIDIA is completely out of the picture here. Despite being named similarly to the Core i5/i7 in the MacBook Pro, only dual-core Sandy Bridge is offered in the MacBook Air. Like the iMac and MacBook Pro before it, Apple has blessed the MacBook Air with Intel's 32nm Sandy Bridge family of CPUs.
