Electronics

The difference you're seeing is gain bandwidth product. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gain%E2%80%93bandwidth_product the 741 rolls off at 1MHz and the 5532 rolls off at 10MHz, so it'll go about a decade higher frequency at about the same performance.

If you want the layout difference, in the 741 datasheet look at section 7.2, and on the ne5532, section 8.2, the schematic is different.

On top of that, the 741 was released in 1968, vs 1979 for the 5532. 10 years is huge.

Edit: in case I went too deep: decade in log terms, so if at your gain the 741 degrades at 20khz the 5532 should hit 200khz, all else being equal.

Someone more knowledgeable than me will likely join in soon, but depending on your application one op amp might be better than another because of

• higher slew rate (which affects max frequency)

• higher unity gain bandwidth (if you need to amplify a wide range on frequencies)

• better common mode rejection ratio (for working with small signals and electrically noisy environments)

• lower input bias current (for low- power applications)

• higher input/ lower output impedance (to not load sensitive instruments/ distort signals)

And probably loads of other things... cost... thermal...
