Differences What are the advantages of each
| |||||||
Much newer manufacturing process | 28 nm | vs | 180 nm | A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Much higher clock speed | 3.7 GHz | vs | 0.95 GHz | Around 4x higher clock speed | |||
Much more l2 cache | 4 MB | vs | 0.5 MB | 8x more l2 cache; more data can be stored in the l2 cache for quick access later | |||
More cores | 4 | vs | 1 | 3 more cores; run more applications at once | |||
Has a NX bit | Yes | vs | No | Somewhat common; Prevents a common class of security exploits | |||
Much more l2 cache per core | 1 MB/core | vs | 0.5 MB/core | 2x more l2 cache per core | |||
Significantly better overclocked clock speed (Air) | 4.37 GHz | vs | 4.19 GHz | Around 5% better overclocked clock speed (Air) | |||
Better overclocked clock speed (Water) | 4.45 GHz | vs | 4.29 GHz | Around 5% better overclocked clock speed (Water) | |||
