Report a correction
Has a built-in GPU Yes vs No Somewhat common; A separate graphics adapter is not required
Newer manufacturing process 32 nms vs 45 nms A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor
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
More cores 2 vs 1 Twice as many cores; run more applications at once
More threads 2 vs 1 Twice as many threads
Marginally newer Oct, 2011 vs Jan, 2009 Release date over 2 years later
Better PassMark score 1,881 vs 698 Around 2.8x better PassMark score
Better geekbench (32-bit) score 2,627 vs 1,049 More than 2.5x better geekbench (32-bit) score
Better PassMark (Single core) score 1,054 vs 802 More than 30% better PassMark (Single core) score
Slightly better performance per watt 9.01 pt/W vs 4.38 pt/W More than 2x better performance per watt
