Reasons to consider the
Intel Core i3 4130

Report a correction
Higher clock speed 3.4 GHz vs 3.1 GHz Around 10% higher clock speed
Much better turbo clock speed 1,150 MHz vs 1,100 MHz Around 5% better turbo clock speed
Much lower typical power consumption 43.88W vs 93.6W 2.1x lower typical power consumption
Much newer manufacturing process 22 nm vs 32 nm A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor
More number of displays supported 3 vs 2 1 more number of displays supported
Much lower annual commercial energy cost 47.3 $/year vs 100.92 $/year 2.1x lower annual commercial energy cost
Much lower annual home energy cost 13.01 $/year vs 27.75 $/year 2.1x lower annual home energy cost
Newer Jul, 2013 vs Jan, 2011 Release date over 2 years later
