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 | 43.88W | vs | 81.25W | More than 45% lower typical power consumption | |||
Much lower annual home energy cost | 13.01 $/year | vs | 24.09 $/year | More than 45% lower annual home energy cost | |||
Much lower annual commercial energy cost | 47.3 $/year | vs | 87.6 $/year | More than 45% lower annual commercial energy cost | |||
Newer | Jul, 2013 | vs | Oct, 2012 | Release date 9 months later | |||
| |||||||
Much more l2 cache | 4 MB | vs | 0.5 MB | 8x more l2 cache; more data can be stored in the l2 cache for quick access later | |||
More cores | 4 | vs | 2 | Twice as many cores; run more applications at once | |||
More threads | 4 | vs | 2 | Twice as many threads | |||
Much more l2 cache per core | 1 MB/core | vs | 0.25 MB/core | 4x more l2 cache per core | |||
Much better overclocked clock speed (Air) | 4.46 GHz | vs | 3.31 GHz | Around 35% better overclocked clock speed (Air) | |||
Higher clock speed | 3.4 GHz | vs | 3.2 GHz | More than 5% higher clock speed | |||
Much better overclocked clock speed (Water) | 5.01 GHz | vs | 3.2 GHz | More than 55% better overclocked clock speed (Water) |
