On June 5, 2017, Apple quietly updated the MacBook Air “Core i5″ 1.6 13” (Early 2015) with a modestly faster 14-nm “Broadwell ULT” 1.8 GHz Intel “Core i5” processor (5350U). This model otherwise is identical to late configurations of its predecessor apart from some identifiers. The Apple MacBook Air “Core i5” 1.8 13-Inch (2017/Broadwell) features a 14-nm “Broadwell ULT” 1.8 GHz Intel “Core i5” processor (5350U) with two independent processor “cores” on a single chip, a 3 MB shared level 3 cache, 8 GB of onboard 1600 MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM, 128 GB or 256 GB of 4 Lane PCIe-based flash storage (256 GB discontinued as a standard configuration on October 30, 2018, although subsequently offered as a custom option), and an “integrated” Intel HD Graphics 6000 graphics processor that shares system memory.
