Which means the performance is much, much lower.
Who cares? IPC is not the concern here.
For you and me, the performance of the Air is fine. If I were say a video jockey I would most definitely get a Pro for the much increased performance.
Not sure what you mean. They do this all the time. Sure, there are other features as well that are different, but the CPU is usually quite different in the lower end models. In fact, Apple often does not allow higher end processors in lower end machines, even if the design allows for the higher end processors. Same goes for GPUs.
If I were a video jockey, I would buy a quad core 15". There is no reason to go 13" unless I need a retina and don't need big performance.
I mean that Apple will not create an entirely different model based on a difference in processor speed. It just doesn't happen. Can you show me one example where apple has every created any product in the last 10 years where the only notable difference was processor speed?
