- MacBook Air Core i5 1.4 11-inch (early 2014) has no improvements at all save for the faster Haswell CPU with ultra-low TDP. The thermal design power (TDP) or thermal design point, is the maximum amount of heat a CPU or GPU generates. The maximum in its turn is determined by the cooling system power. In a nutshell, this feature means, that the processor is harder to overheat under normal performance and easier to cool by system fans.

Miscellanea
- Along with CPU upgrade Apple had changed the SSD interface and vendor. SSDs installed in MacBooks (Mid 2013) are manufactured by Samsung and sport PCIe interface, which is faster than Toshiba SATA module.
- The MacBook Air 6,1 11-inch (Mid-2013) customized iteration with Intel Core i7 aboard has two storage options: 128 or 256 GB solid-state drive. It's still a riddle, why Apple never offered it as a standard configuration as it happened to the CTO models of the previous years.
- Intel Core i5 (4260U) processor belongs to Haswell family and supports hyperthreading. Thus, the end-user got two physical cores and two virtual ones.
- MacBook Air 6,1 11-inch (Early-2014) is faster than its predecessor due to new OS rather than any hardware updates. Apple made up for lack of those with dropping the price. This MacBook Air cost was $100 less. The last but not the least advantage of the MacBook Air Core 11-inch (Early -2014) is the battery life that is 90 minutes longer. Provided this Air is not so great about performance, you may need that extra hour and a half.
- The SSD drives also had come from 2013. No wonder MacBook Air Core 11-inch (Early-2014) showed no significant increase in performance and failed some benchmarks. The fact that Apple acquires SSD drives from a range of manufacturers – Toshiba, Samsung and SunDisk included – can also be germane to the performance.
