Is unlocked Yes vs No Somewhat common; An unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
Much newer manufacturing process 22 nm vs 65 nm A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor
Significantly higher clock speed 3.4 GHz vs 2.3 GHz Around 50% higher clock speed
Has a built-in GPU Yes vs No Somewhat common; A separate graphics adapter is not required
Much better PassMark (Single core) score 2,012 vs 840 Around 2.5x better PassMark (Single core) score
More l3 cache 6 MB vs 2 MB 3x more l3 cache; more data can be stored in the l3 cache for quick access later
Much better overclocked clock speed (Air) 4.59 GHz vs 2.94 GHz More than 55% better overclocked clock speed (Air)
Significantly more l3 cache per core 1.5 MB/core vs 0.5 MB/core 3x more l3 cache per core
Better PassMark score 7,152 vs 2,765 More than 2.5x better PassMark score
Significantly better performance per watt 4.69 pt/W vs 1.38 pt/W Around 3.5x better performance per watt
Newer Apr, 2012 vs Apr, 2008 Release date over 4 years later
Much better overclocked clock speed (Water) 4.71 GHz vs 2.3 GHz More than 2x better overclocked clock speed (Water)
