Difference between i5 and i7 processors in Macbook Air
According to this page, the major difference between the Mobile Core i5 and i7 processors shipping in the latest generation of Macbook Air is that the i7 line has hyperthreading enabled, which doubles the apparent number of cores.
Since OS X Lion is an aggressively multithreaded and multiprocess OS, that will probably make a big difference. Benchmarks anyone?
