You can see more of these OS X vs. Ubuntu Linux performance benchmarks from the MacBook Air via this OpenBenchmarking.org result file where you can also reproduce the tests yourself using the Phoronix Test Suite. When OS X 10.10 is closer to its official release we'll also run some new performance benchmarks on Phoronix.
