Reasons to consider the
Intel Core i3 2120

Report a correction
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 3.3 GHz vs 1.8 GHz Around 85% higher clock speed
Has a built-in GPU Yes vs No Somewhat common; A separate graphics adapter is not required
Significantly more l3 cache per core 1.5 MB/core vs 0.5 MB/core 3x more l3 cache per core
Slightly more l3 cache 3 MB vs 1 MB 3x more l3 cache; more data can be stored in the l3 cache for quick access later
Newer Jan, 2011 vs Aug, 2006 Release date over 4 years later
Significantly better overclocked clock speed (Air) 3.42 GHz vs 2.56 GHz Around 35% better overclocked clock speed (Air)
Higher Maximum operating temperature 69.1 °C vs 55 °C More than 25% higher Maximum operating temperature
More threads 4 vs 2 Twice as many threads
Much better overclocked clock speed (Water) 3.37 GHz vs 1.8 GHz More than 85% better overclocked clock speed (Water)
