iPad Air has as much processing power as 2010 MAcBook Air!

I was looking at Geekbench 3 results posted for the new iPad Air. Results seem to be in the 1400 range for multi-core processing.



Having had a 2010 11" MacBook Air in the past, I remembered that it scored somewhat similar. I did a quick search, which indicate results in the upper 1300s for the 1.4GHz C2D model.



While I no longer have that computer, I remember being able to run Photoshop and Aperture on that machine without too much of a slowdown, and it's fully capable of running Mavericks today.



Which begs the question of whether apps will use that extra processing power for more than just flashy games. I would really, really, REALLY, love to have Lightroom for iPad. I'd pay $100 for it. It seems that there's enough processing power there; hopefully it gets put to good use.
