Differences What are the advantages of each
| |||||||
Much more l3 cache | 3 MB | vs | 0 MB | Compared to all cpus, 3 MB l3 cache is just OK | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Has a built-in GPU | Yes | vs | No | Somewhat common; A separate graphics adapter is not required | |||
Much more l3 cache per core | 1.5 MB/core | vs | 0 MB/core | Compared to all cpus, 1.5 MB/core l3 cache per core is just OK | |||
Much newer manufacturing process | 22 nm | vs | 32 nm | A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor | |||
Much lower typical power consumption | 44.69W | vs | 81.25W | 45% lower typical power consumption | |||
Much lower annual home energy cost | 13.25 $/year | vs | 24.09 $/year | 45% lower annual home energy cost | |||
Much lower annual commercial energy cost | 48.18 $/year | vs | 87.6 $/year | Around 45% lower annual commercial energy cost | |||
| |||||||
Much more l2 cache | 4 MB | vs | 1 MB | 4x more l2 cache; more data can be stored in the l2 cache for quick access later | |||
Higher clock speed | 3.4 GHz | vs | 3.1 GHz | Around 10% higher clock speed | |||
More cores | 4 | vs | 2 | Twice as many cores; run more applications at once | |||
