  • Marked as BCM94360CD, this Broadcom AirPort card boasts support for the new 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard.

  • Not the first Mac to get updated with the new ac standard, we expected to see some similar hardware as in the refreshed MacBook Airs from earlier this year.

  • What's under the hood?

  • Broadcom BCM4360KML1G 5G WiFi 3-stream 802.11ac gigabit transceiver—as expected, this is the same chip driving the ac Wi-Fi in the 11" and 13" MacBook Air

  • Three Skyworks SE5516: dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN front-end modules

  • Broadcom BCM20702 single-chip Bluetooth 4.0 HCI solution with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) support
