Really, really sloppy benchmarking work here -- only four machines were tested, and every one of them had a drive from a different manufacturer. They weren't even all the same size! It's already well-known that Apple sources SSDs (as well as other parts) from a variety of suppliers, and not all of them perform identically. Concluding that the 2014 model is "slower" than the 2013 models from a sample this small is totally inappropriate, though.
