Computer Processor Choice

[debbierod_123]

Dell Inspiron 3052 all-in-1 computer:
Intel Celeron Processor N3150 (2M Cache, up to 2.08 GHz)

compared to

HP all-in-1 computer: AMD Dual-Core A6-9200 APU (2 GHz base frequency, up to 2.8 GHz burst frequency, 1 MB cache)

Which is bette processor & is there a major difference?

Thanks.

http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/255/AMD_A6-Series_for_Notebooks_A6-9200_vs_Intel_Mobile_Celeron_N3150.html Both are low power and low performance; personally I'd go with the Intel. What will you use the PC for?

I have a MACbook air which I use more. I am replacing the Dell (terrible computer & hard drive needs now to be replaced). Computer very slow. I am looking for an all-in-one Windows computer that is better quality than Dell Inspiron I have but want to keep budget to about $500 given I bought it only 1.5 yrs ago.

Someone recommended the Pavillion of HP. There is this one: HP Pavilion All-in-One 24-b016 Desktop (Intel i3 Processor, 8GB RAM Memory, 1TB Hard Drive). What do you think of this one . Processor any good? Thanks.

For got to mention how I use the computer I am purchasing: Simple use: internet, email & excel & word. No music or video use for most part.

The specs you should look for are partially right. Intel i3 Processor and 8GB RAM fit your needs well, but get a SSD and read the reviews about the exact model you consider on notebookcheck.net !

HP all-in-one computer:
AMD A6-9200
CPU speed: 2.0 GHz (max turbo boost - 2.8 GHz)
CPU cores: 2
CPU Cache: 1 MB L2

How does this compare to (including Processor): HP Pavilion All-in-One 24-b016 Desktop (Intel i3 Processor, 8GB RAM Memory, 1TB Hard Drive

Many cheapo prebuilts have a max of 4GB of RAM supported....;do not get a prebuilt which only comes with 4 GB max RAM supported...they suck.....

The HP Pavilion All-in-One 24-b016 is much faster; it would be even better if a SSD replaced the hard disk.

I would go with the HP. Bigger hard drive and the integrated graphics on an APU are going to be better than Intel. The A6 is a little bit faster than the Intel but you won't notice it. Since you are buying a budget all in one, a dual core processor will be sufficient. The Intel does have 2 more cores though but if you need 4 cores for something I'd consider a more expensive all in one. If it had a smaller bezel and was a quad core it would be much nicer though.

The All-in-One 24-b016 with an i3-6100T is much better than the HP with AMD Dual-Core A6-9200 APU. Of the 3 systems that would be my choice.

That model isn't in the original post. I was just answering on the two models given in the OP. A Skylake i3 would clearly be better, don't even have to look at specs to know that.

It was added in a later post.
