Reasons to consider the
Intel Core i5 4400E

Report a correction
Much newer manufacturing process 22 nm vs 45 nm A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor
Has a built-in GPU Yes vs No Somewhat common; A separate graphics adapter is not required
Significantly lower typical power consumption 30.06W vs 52.81W Around 45% lower typical power consumption
Much more l3 cache per core 1.5 MB/core vs 0.25 MB/core 6x more l3 cache per core
More l3 cache 3 MB vs 0.5 MB 6x more l3 cache; more data can be stored in the l3 cache for quick access later
Newer Jul, 2013 vs May, 2010 Release date over 3 years later
More threads 4 vs 2 Twice as many threads
Better performance per watt 2.61 pt/W vs 1.67 pt/W More than 55% better performance per watt
Significantly lower annual home energy cost 8.91 $/year vs 15.66 $/year Around 45% lower annual home energy cost
Significantly lower annual commercial energy cost 32.41 $/year vs 56.94 $/year Around 45% lower annual commercial energy cost
