Differences

Reasons to consider the AMD Z-60

  • CPU is newer: launch date 7 year(s) 7 month(s) later
  • 1 more cores, run more applications at once: 2 vs 1
  • A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 40 nm vs 90 nm
  • 5x lower typical power consumption: 5 Watt vs 25 Watt
Launch date October 2012 vs March 2005
Number of cores 2 vs 1
Manufacturing process technology 40 nm vs 90 nm
Thermal Design Power (TDP) 5 Watt vs 25 Watt

Reasons to consider the AMD Turion 64 MT-34

  • Around 80% higher clock speed: 1.8 GHz vs 1 GHz
  • 2x more L1 cache, more data can be stored in the L1 cache for quick access later
  • Around 3% better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 328 vs 318
  • Around 6% better performance in PassMark - CPU mark: 279 vs 262
