new vs valueOf()

Code

Integer a = new Integer("1");
Integer b = new Integer("2");
System.out.println(a == b);	// false

Integer c = 1;
Integer d = 1;
System.out.println(c == d);	// true - because autoboxing uses valueOf() which use cached immutable values between -128..127

Integer e = 1000;
Integer f = 1000;
System.out.println(e == f);	// false because outside the cached values range

Result

Console

false
true
false
