Benchmarks are coming out of the web now that MacBook Air orders are arriving. Apple's website says that the new Airs are up to 2.5x faster than the old ones, and most of the review sites agree. The only edge the older Airs have are over the newer ones are in graphics performance. The difference is not so much though, and newer games seem to erase that performance gap.
For road warriors that want to have the lightest portable around, the 2011 MacBook Airs are definitely a compelling choice. You'll lose the optical drive, Ethernet and Firewire ports, and a lot of weight; you'll even be able to stick it in a Manila envelope!
Here's some links to benchmarks of the new MacBook Airs:
• MacWorld Lab Tests
• Anandtech
• Bare Feats
