Which CPU is better?

[SoulReapingTaco]

I'm deciding between 2 laptops and i was wondering which has the better CPU it will mostly be used for surfing the web and occasional gaming:

AMD A6-5200

Intel i3 2330M

Thanks!

i5 2330m is the better one no doubt

This thread answers your question. Did you search before asking?

Comparing CPU to CPU, the i3 is a lot faster.

In order to help you decide which is the better choice, we need to know more about these systems. Does the i3 laptop have a separate built-in video card, or is it only going to be using its Intel HD 3000 integrated video? If that's the case, the A6's integrated Radeon HD 8400 may give you better overall performance in spite of the CPU itself being slower.

The i3 has a Radeon 6490M GPU with 4GB of RAM
the A6 has (like you said) Radeon HD 8400 with 8GB of ram and is a Windows 8 touchscreen

Core i3 is better. The comparison could have been fairer if you were looking at i3 vs A10. And that's part of the reason why AMD seems in trouble on portables.. Core i3 systems are already so aggressively priced. I have seen Best Buy specials on Core i3 portables for under $400. Hardly any A10 systems close to that.
