Identifiers: Early 2015 - BTO/CTO - MacBookAir 7,2 - A1466 - 2925

5th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-5650U Processor, 4M Cache, up to 3.20 GHz

The MacBook Air "Core i7" 2.2 13-Inch (Early 2015/Broadwell) technically is a "configure-to-order" configuration of the MacBook Air "Core i5" 1.6 13-Inch (Early 2015/Broadwell), but also is documented as a separate model for reader convenience. Other than processor (and the corresponding larger level 3 cache), these models are identical.

The Apple MacBook Air "Core i7" 2.2 13-Inch (Early 2015/Broadwell)
features a 14-nm "Broadwell ULT" 2.2 GHz Intel "Core i7" processor (5650U)
with two independent processor "cores" on a single chip,
a 4 MB shared level 3 cache,
8 GB of onboard 1600 MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM,
256 GB of 4 Lane PCIe-based flash storage,
and an "integrated" Intel HD Graphics 6000 graphics processor that shares system memory.

This all is packed in a razor thin 0.11-0.68 inch),
2.96 pound, aluminum case with
an integrated 720p "FaceTime HD" webcam,
a backlit full-size keyboard and
a 13.3" widescreen TFT LED backlit active-matrix "glossy" display (1440x900 native resolution).

Connectivity includes
802.11ac Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth 4.0,
analog audio out,
a single "Thunderbolt" 2 port,
two USB 3.0 ports, and
an SDXC-capable SD card slot.

Compared to its predecessor, this model looks effectively identical, but has a more advanced processor and architecture, more advanced graphics, "twice as fast" 4x PCIe storage and Thunderbolt 2 support. It has some different identifiers, too.
