Much more l2 cache 2 MB vs 1 MB 2x more l2 cache; more data can be stored in the l2 cache for quick access later
Much higher clock speed 2.6 GHz vs 1.8 GHz Around 45% higher clock speed
Much better PassMark score 1,549 vs 999 More than 55% better PassMark score
Much better PassMark (Single core) score 1,052 vs 655 More than 60% better PassMark (Single core) score
Much better geekbench 2 (32-bit) score 2,271 vs 1,600 More than 40% better geekbench 2 (32-bit) score
Much newer manufacturing process 45 nm vs 65 nm A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor
Much better performance per watt 1.66 pt/W vs 1.12 pt/W Around 50% better performance per watt
Much better overclocked clock speed (Air) 3.87 GHz vs 3.11 GHz Around 25% better overclocked clock speed (Air)
Has virtualization support Yes vs No Somewhat common; Boosts performance of virtual machines
Much more l2 cache per core 1 MB/core vs 0.5 MB/core 2x more l2 cache per core
Much better overclocked clock speed (Water) 4.33 GHz vs 3.72 GHz More than 15% better overclocked clock speed (Water)
Higher Maximum operating temperature 74.1 °C vs 73.3 °C Almost the same
Newer Jan, 2008 vs Jul, 2006 Release date over 1 years later
