New PCIe Memory Delivers Amazing Speeds for MacBook Airs, Benchmarks Show

Posted 06/11/2013 at 5:29pm | by Leif Johnson

Much of the attention circling the new MacBook Air has focused on Intel's new Haswell processors and the considerable improvements to battery life they provide, but it's possible that the most impressive improvement is the PCIe-based flash storage in each unit. Indeed, it may be even more impressive that we originally thought, and that means great things for the new Mac Pros that will be housing them as well. According to a report by Anandtech released this morning, read/write speeds are approaching 800 mb/s on the new 13" MacBook Air.

Those ugly patent battles appear to be taking a toll on another front, according to a new report claiming that Apple is shifting its memory purchases away from longtime favorite (and current patent litigation foe) Samsung, who currently holds a 40 percent share of the global DRAM market -- but maybe not for long.

If you're having some serious performance issues with your Mac -- say, applications seem to crash randomly when you start them up, your Mac is incessantly freezing, or some software just hangs without really loading -- you'll want to check to see that the RAM is really the issue and you're not simply in need of a software update.
