Report a correction
More cores 6 vs 2 Three times as many cores; run more applications at once
Much more l3 cache 6 MB vs 1 MB 6x more l3 cache; more data can be stored in the l3 cache for quick access later
Much more l2 cache 3 MB vs 2 MB 50% more l2 cache; more data can be stored in the l2 cache for quick access later
Much newer manufacturing process 45 nm vs 90 nm A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor
More threads 6 vs 2 Three times as many threads
Significantly lower typical power consumption 44.69W vs 77.19W More than 40% lower typical power consumption
More l3 cache per core 1 MB/core vs 0.5 MB/core 2x more l3 cache per core
Significantly lower annual commercial energy cost 48.18 $/year vs 83.22 $/year More than 40% lower annual commercial energy cost
Significantly lower annual home energy cost 13.25 $/year vs 22.89 $/year More than 40% lower annual home energy cost
Newer Jul, 2009 vs Aug, 2006 Release date over 2 years later
