From what I read,
they are the same speed as the previous MacBook Air SSDs.
The difference in speed they measure is due to variations in the SSD chips. Apple uses SSDs from different vendors. The new model has the same variations in speed as the old.

Well done!

The pricing will determine if that's new, good news, or indeed great news.

Still stinks that Apple ships different performing parts in the same model, but that is nothing new. I just wish Apple actually made mention to such differences in their specs. That's one of the primary weaknesses of pre built computers, you never know what parts are in your system until after purchase. Happens with most brands and even other types of electronics (TVs, routers. Etc.)

And I think I read something about that, and the reviewer may not have mentioned which chips were the better or poorer performers.
If I'm remembering correctly, not naming one or the other also stinks.
Not that it makes much difference, once you buy a machine.
