Has a built-in GPU Yes vs No Somewhat common; A separate graphics adapter is not required
Much better PassMark score 4,335 vs 1,334 Around 3.2x better PassMark score
More threads 4 vs 2 Twice as many threads
Much better performance per watt 2.97 pt/W vs 0.87 pt/W Around 3.5x better performance per watt
Much more l3 cache per core 1.5 MB/core vs 0.25 MB/core 6x more l3 cache per core
Significantly better overclocked clock speed (Air) 3.49 GHz vs 3.26 GHz More than 5% better overclocked clock speed (Air)
Lower typical power consumption 44.69W vs 52.81W More than 15% lower typical power consumption
Much better overclocked clock speed (Water) 3.3 GHz vs 2.7 GHz More than 20% better overclocked clock speed (Water)
Newer Sep, 2012 vs Apr, 2008 Release date over 4 years later
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
