The two CPUs appear to differ in dispatch and branch prediction. Interestingly, that's where much of the power/silicon budget goes nowadays.

- hoprocker 14y agoAs I understand it, incorrect branch prediction becomes significantly more expensive (power-/time-wise) as pipeline length increases, so getting the prediction right and being able to correct quickly is quite important.
