Lower annual commercial energy cost | 17.08 $/year | vs | 30.66 $/year | Around 45% lower annual commercial energy cost | |||
| |||||||
Much newer manufacturing process | 32 nm | vs | 180 nm | A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor | |||
Much more l2 cache | 4 MB | vs | 0.25 MB | 16x more l2 cache; more data can be stored in the l2 cache for quick access later | |||
Significantly higher clock speed | 1.4 GHz | vs | 0.6 GHz | More than 2.2x higher clock speed | |||
More advanced architecture | x86-64 | vs | x86 | A 64-bit architecture allows more RAM to be installed and accessed by the processor | |||
Has a built-in GPU | Yes | vs | No | Somewhat common; A separate graphics adapter is not required | |||
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 | |||
Has a NX bit | Yes | vs | No | Somewhat common; Prevents a common class of security exploits | |||
Has virtualization support | Yes | vs | No | Somewhat common; Boosts performance of virtual machines | |||
Newer | Jun, 2011 | vs | Oct, 1999 | Release date over 11 years later | |||
Much more l2 cache per core | 1 MB/core | vs | 0.25 MB/core | 4x more l2 cache per core | |||
More cores | 4 | vs | 1 | 3 more cores; run more applications at once | |||
Significantly higher Maximum operating temperature | 100 °C | vs | 82 °C | More than 20% higher Maximum operating temperature | |||
More threads | 4 | vs | 1 | 3 more threads |
