Supports more CPUs in SMP configuration | 2 | vs | 1 | Twice as many CPUs in SMP configuration | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Slightly lower typical power consumption | 15.84W | vs | 20.31W | More than 20% lower typical power consumption | |||
Slightly lower annual home energy cost | 4.7 $/year | vs | 6.02 $/year | More than 20% lower annual home energy cost | |||
Slightly lower annual commercial energy cost | 17.08 $/year | vs | 21.9 $/year | More than 20% lower annual commercial energy cost | |||
| |||||||
Much newer manufacturing process | 45 nm | vs | 180 nm | A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor | |||
Much more l2 cache | 3 MB | vs | 0.25 MB | 12x more l2 cache; more data can be stored in the l2 cache for quick access later | |||
Much higher clock speed | 2.4 GHz | vs | 0.6 GHz | 4x 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 | |||
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 | |||
Much more l2 cache per core | 1.5 MB/core | vs | 0.25 MB/core | 6x more l2 cache per core | |||
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 | Jul, 2008 | vs | Oct, 1999 | Release date over 8 years later | |||
More cores | 2 | vs | 1 | Twice as many cores; run more applications at once |
