Amd a10 9600p vs intel i3 7100u?

[venugopal_asokan]

i'm considering to buy an entry level laptop one with amd a10 9600p+r8 m445dx(Acer Aspire E5-553G) AND the other i3 7200u+intel hd 620 (Acer E5-575) AND i3 6006u+nvidia 940mx(E5-575G-31YC) using mainly for hd videos, inter and some old games..

From what I can tell is they are neck and neck in terms of cpu performance, except where single threaded work comes in, then the i3 pulls ahead by a bit. The only reason i'd consider the A10 is AMD has a lot better IGPU peformance versus intel, albeit with a slower processor.
