Much newer manufacturing process 22 nm vs 90 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
Much better geekbench 2 (32-bit) score 6,256 vs 1,079 More than 5.8x better geekbench 2 (32-bit) score
More cores 2 vs 1 Twice as many cores; run more applications at once
More threads 4 vs 2 Twice as many threads
Much lower typical power consumption 43.88W vs 93.44W 2.1x lower typical power consumption
Has virtualization support Yes vs No Somewhat common; Boosts performance of virtual machines
Much lower annual commercial energy cost 47.3 $/year vs 100.74 $/year 2.1x lower annual commercial energy cost
Much lower annual home energy cost 13.01 $/year vs 27.7 $/year 2.1x lower annual home energy cost
Newer Jul, 2013 vs Jan, 2005 Release date over 8 years later
Higher Maximum operating temperature 72 °C vs 70.8 °C Almost the same
