I have tracked down & translated a French website with Geekbench 5 results comparing the 13 & i5 2020 MacBook Air with the i5 from the previous 2018/19 MacBook Air.
The 1.1 GHz dual-core i3 is approx 25% faster on the multicore test: 1928 (2020 i3) vs 1534 (2019 i5).
The 1.1 GHz quad-core i5 is more than twice as fast on the multicore test: 3114 (2020 i5) vs 1534 (2019 i5).
For AU$2000 last week I could get a 2019 MacBook air with 8 GB RAM & a 256 GB SSD. For the same outlay I can now get a 2020 MacBook Air with 16 GB RAM; 256 GB SSD & a quad-core 1.1 GHz i5 processor.
Over twice the bang for the same bucks, the Geekbench 5 figures are for 8 GB RAM.
