Much more l2 cache 8 MB vs 2 MB 4x more l2 cache; more data can be stored in the l2 cache for quick access later
Is unlocked Yes vs No Somewhat common; An unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
Significantly higher clock speed 3.5 GHz vs 2.5 GHz 40% higher clock speed
Much newer manufacturing process 32 nm vs 45 nm A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor
More cores 8 vs 4 Twice as many cores; run more applications at once
Much better overclocked clock speed (Air) 4.56 GHz vs 3.11 GHz More than 45% better overclocked clock speed (Air)
Much more l2 cache per core 1 MB/core vs 0.5 MB/core 2x more l2 cache per core
Slightly more l3 cache 8 MB vs 6 MB Around 35% more l3 cache; more data can be stored in the l3 cache for quick access later
More threads 8 vs 4 Twice as many threads
Newer Oct, 2012 vs Nov, 2008 Release date over 4 years later
Much better overclocked clock speed (Water) 4.75 GHz vs 2.5 GHz More than 90% better overclocked clock speed (Water)
Higher Maximum operating temperature 61.1 °C vs 55 °C More than 10% higher Maximum operating temperature
