I think there's still a no fan vs fan distinction so they'll still be able to run the Pro more powerful, but it looks like it. I half suspect the Air was the one they wanted to release and they just didn't want there to be no Pro faster than an Air in the lineup.

Yes, but they only replaced the lowest-end 13 inch pro at this point, and are still selling the higher-end Intels. The performance versions will follow next year.

Same CPU line, but doesn't mean they will have the same specs. Pro will definitely have its cores run faster/hotter.

Is there any indication at this point that they'll make that clear? It seems kind of strange to buy a computer without really knowing what you're buying.

I guess apple didn't officially say what intel processors they have in their computers, but at least you could look it up and know what you're getting.

They have also never shared this info for iPhones/iPads, so no reason to believe they will do it for Macs going forward. But we should be seeing third party benchmarks soon enough.
