Differences

Reasons to consider the AMD C-50

  • CPU is newer: launch date 5 year(s) 5 month(s) later
  • 1 more cores, run more applications at once: 2 vs 1
  • 1 more threads: 2 vs 1
  • A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 40 nm vs 90 nm
  • 2x more L2 cache, more data can be stored in the L2 cache for quick access later
  • 3.9x lower typical power consumption: 9 Watt vs 35 Watt
  • Around 4% better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 265 vs 254
