Report a correction
Much higher clock speed 2.6 GHz vs 0.6 GHz More than 4.2x higher clock speed
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
More advanced architecture x86-64 vs x86 A 64-bit architecture allows more RAM to be installed and accessed by the processor
Much better overclocked clock speed (Air) 3.5 GHz vs 0.6 GHz More than 5.8x better overclocked clock speed (Air)
More cores 4 vs 1 3 more cores; run more applications at once
More threads 4 vs 2 Twice as many threads
Much better overclocked clock speed (Water) 2.6 GHz vs 0.6 GHz More than 4.2x better overclocked clock speed (Water)
