65
Appreciably more memory bandwidth
Comment
25.6 GB/s
vs
21 GB/s
4.60 GB/s more memory bandwidth. This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.
anonymous
51
Sizably lower TDP
Comment
88 W
vs
125 W
37 W lower TDP. The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.

Sizably higher PassMark result
Comment
11455
vs
9144
2311 higher PassMark result. This benchmark measures the performance of the CPU using multiple threads.
anonymous
45
Notably smaller semiconductor size
Comment
22 nm
vs
32 nm
10 nm smaller semiconductor size. A smaller size indicates that the process to create the chip is newer.
anonymous
39
Uses hyperthreading technology
Comment
Yes
vs
No
Many of Intel's processors use hyperthreading, which means that each core of the processor can work on two threads at once instead of most processors which work on a single thread per core. This means you can have significant performance gains in certain applications.

36
Significantly more transistors
Comment
1400 million
vs
1200 million
200 million more transistors. A higher transistor count generally indicates a newer, more powerful processor.

35
Vastly higher PassMark result (single)
Comment
2546
vs
1522
1024 higher PassMark result (single). This benchmark measures the performance of the CPU using a single thread.
anonymous
35
Higher turbo clock speed
Comment
4.4 GHz
vs
4.2 GHz
0.20 GHz higher turbo clock speed. When the CPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
anonymous
32
Distinctly more L3 cache per core
Comment
2 MB/core
vs
1 MB/core
1 MB/core more L3 cache per core. More data can be stored in the L3 cache for access by each core of the CPU.
anonymous
31
Newer version of PCI Express (PCIe)
Comment
3
vs
2
Newer version of PCI Express (PCIe). PCI Express (PCIe) is a high speed expansion card standard, that connects the computer to it's peripherals. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance.
anonymous
31
Has Tri-Gate transistors
Comment
Yes
vs
No
An advanced transistor technology developed by Intel that allows lower power consumption and higher speeds.
anonymous
30
Distinctly higher 7zip benchmark
Comment
26152 MIPS
vs
23407 MIPS
2745 MIPS higher 7zip benchmark. This benchmark tests the CPU to see how well it performs using the 7zip program.
anonymous
30
Distinctly higher PassMark result (overclocked)
Comment
12287
vs
10143
2144 higher PassMark result (overclocked). This benchmark measures the performance of the CPU whilst it is overclocked.
anonymous
28
Distinctly higher Cinebench 10 result (single)
Comment
8785
vs
4319
4466 higher Cinebench 10 result (single). This benchmark measures the performance of the CPU using a single thread.
anonymous
28
Distinctly higher Cinebench 11.5 result
Comment
9.66
vs
6.89
2.77 higher Cinebench 11.5 result. This benchmark measures the performance of the CPU using multiple threads.
anonymous
26
Sizably higher Cinebench 11.5 result (single)
Comment
2.05
vs
1.1
0.95 higher Cinebench 11.5 result (single). This benchmark measures the performance of the CPU using a single thread.
anonymous
24
Has Intel Quick Sync Video
Comment
Yes
vs
No
This allows very fast video transcoding times, for example when ripping a DVD or Blu-ray to your computer.
anonymous
23
Has RdRand
Comment
Yes
vs
No
RdRand is an instruction set used for cryptography.
