I noticed that too. But it’s one score for the Pro versus four for the Air.

Assuming it is sampling error?

It's also possible that the fan comes into play more with a sustained load. I believe their clocks are the same, but I'm sure the Air has to start throttling at a certain point once it gets hot.
