Much more l2 cache 2 MB vs 0.5 MB 4x more l2 cache; more data can be stored in the l2 cache for quick access later
Much more l3 cache 1 MB vs 0 MB Compared to all cpus, 1 MB l3 cache is just OK
Much newer manufacturing process 32 nm vs 90 nm A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor
Much higher clock speed 2.8 GHz vs 1.6 GHz Around 75% higher clock speed
Much better PassMark score 1,642 vs 398 Around 4.2x better PassMark score
Much better PassMark (Single core) score 938 vs 487 Around 95% better PassMark (Single core) score
Much better geekbench 2 (32-bit) score 2,513 vs 682 Around 3.8x better geekbench 2 (32-bit) score
More advanced architecture x86-64 vs x86 A 64-bit architecture allows more RAM to be installed and accessed by the processor
More cores 2 vs 1 Twice as many cores; run more applications at once
More threads 2 vs 1 Twice as many threads
Much better performance per watt 1.67 pt/W vs 0.44 pt/W More than 3.8x better performance per watt
Much more l3 cache per core 0.5 MB/core vs 0 MB/core Compared to all cpus, 0.5 MB/core l3 cache per core is just OK
Much better overclocked clock speed (Air) 3.67 GHz vs 2.36 GHz More than 55% better overclocked clock speed (Air)
Has virtualization support Yes vs No Somewhat common; Boosts performance of virtual machines
Much more l2 cache per core 1 MB/core vs 0.5 MB/core 2x more l2 cache per core
Significantly higher Maximum operating temperature 74 °C vs 70 °C More than 5% higher Maximum operating temperature
Much better overclocked clock speed (Water) 2.8 GHz vs 1.8 GHz More than 55% better overclocked clock speed (Water)
Newer Jul, 2009 vs Jul, 2004 Release date over 5 years later
