Reasons to consider the
Intel Itanium 9520

Report a correction
Much more l3 cache 20 MB vs 12 MB More than 65% more l3 cache; more data can be stored in the l3 cache for quick access later
Much higher clock speed 1.73 GHz vs 1.42 GHz More than 20% higher clock speed
Much newer manufacturing process 32 nm vs 90 nm A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor
More cores 4 vs 2 Twice as many cores; run more applications at once
Supports dynamic frequency scaling Yes vs No Somewhat common; Allows for maximum performance when needed, while conserving power and minimizing heat production when not needed
Has a NX bit Yes vs No Somewhat common; Prevents a common class of security exploits
More threads 8 vs 4 Twice as many threads
Supports more CPUs in SMP configuration 8 vs 4 Twice as many CPUs in SMP configuration
Newer Nov, 2012 vs Oct, 2007 Release date over 5 years later
