Differences What are the advantages of each
| |||||||
Much more l3 cache | 3 MB | vs | None | Compared to all cpus, 3 MB l3 cache is just OK | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
More threads | 4 | vs | 2 | Twice as many threads | |||
Much newer manufacturing process | 22 nm | vs | 32 nm | A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor | |||
Lower typical power consumption | 44.69W | vs | 52.81W | More than 15% lower typical power consumption | |||
Lower annual home energy cost | 13.25 $/year | vs | 15.66 $/year | More than 15% lower annual home energy cost | |||
Lower annual commercial energy cost | 48.18 $/year | vs | 56.94 $/year | More than 15% lower annual commercial energy cost | |||
| |||||||
Much more l2 cache | 1 MB | vs | 0.5 MB | 2x 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 | |||
Much higher clock speed | 3.9 GHz | vs | 3.3 GHz | Around 20% higher clock speed | |||
