Laptop, A8-4500M Or A6-6310?

[FloppyTacoes]

Which APU Performs better? The A6 is the newest model, but the A8 is 2 years old.

 

[AMD Radeon]

i would go for newer A6

the same quad core, but use much less power
28.44W vs 12.19W

After doing some research that A6 is better. The integrated R4 gpu is better than the 7640G found in the A8-4500M. That coupled with similar processing power the newer A6 is a clear winner.

The A8-4500m is a faster chip as far as the GPU goes. The A6-6310 is actually a quad-core Puma based chip (a refined Jaguar chip similar to the one in the PS4/Xbox one). It is a low power chip that would give better battery life than the A8. The GPU is not faster though given the shader difference 256 (A8) to 128 (A6) the GPU is going to be a tad bit slower in most cases. The CPU's do trade blows due A8 4500M having a higher Turbo-Core speed that makes it faster in a lot of single threaded cases. But the A6 being a true quad-core seems to be faster in a lot of multi-core cases.

The R4 in the 6310 does perform better in 3d Mark 11 778 vs 728. Higher clock speed and newer architecture are on it's side. The performance is low on both but the A6 is the better performer while using less power.

Thanks for all the answers! Good thing, the A6 was new and the A8 laptop was refurb

hey, i have A6-6310 with R4 but my laptop cannot detect the graphic card in the device manager, do you have any solution? thanks
