Differences What are the advantages of each
| |||||||
| Much newer manufacturing process | 32 nm | vs | 180 nm | A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Much higher clock speed | 3.3 GHz | vs | 1.33 GHz | Around 2.5x higher clock speed | |||
| Significantly more l2 cache | 1 MB | vs | 0.25 MB | 4x more l2 cache; more data can be stored in the l2 cache for quick access later | |||
| Has a NX bit | Yes | vs | No | Somewhat common; Prevents a common class of security exploits | |||
| Much better overclocked clock speed (Air) | 3.7 GHz | vs | 1.64 GHz | More than 2.2x better overclocked clock speed (Air) | |||
| More cores | 4 | vs | 1 | 3 more cores; run more applications at once | |||
| More threads | 4 | vs | 1 | 3 more threads | |||
| Much better overclocked clock speed (Water) | 4.21 GHz | vs | 1.33 GHz | Around 3.2x better overclocked clock speed (Water) | |||
