processor for computer science

[Stancherscomic3]

Hello, soon i'll be going into a four year computer science degree and have found two laptops that have my interest. The two laptops are mostly the same except for the Processors, one is an i5 6200u, while the other is an amd A12-9700P. I know very little about amd processors and i've heard they are not the best for programming, multitasking, ect. So what im wondering is what would be the best one that would suit my needs and would be able to last me the four years?

I wont be gaming on it so the integrated graphics don't really matter to me much.

thanks for the help!

The i5 is the stronger, more efficient option.

What type of computer science, just the basics with a few documents and stuff like that, or do you have to run VM's? Intel is decent but honestly I think that buying used a older laptop with actual 4 cores 4 threads is the way to go, or an even older i7 2630*+ is going to give you hyper threading.
