Hello!
So which should i use?
Amd A10 8700p(8gb ram) or i3 5010u (6gb ram) or i5 6200u(8gb ram)?
I want to play Battlefield 3 and 4 on 60fps and all on low.

The A10 870p has a configurable TDP that affects performance. (35W is fast, 15W, not so much) What laptop are you considering with that chip?

Do any of the other laptops have discrete GPUs or are they all running on iGPU only?

Are you looking to buy a laptop? Is the GPU the same for all of them?

The i5 would perform better but what about your graphic card?

Those are all similar laptop chips. The OP is definitely looking at a laptop. The Skylake i5 is still only a 2 core chip with Hyperthreading, just like the Broadwell i3, although running 700Mhz base slower.

OP. This http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Processors-Benchmark-List.2436.0.html is a good place for decent comparison information.

So amd laptop have r5 m330. i5 and i3 have Gforce 940m

Comparing

940M http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-940M.138027.0.html

with

r5 m330 http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-R5-M330.142634.0.html

shows how much better the GeForce 940m is. It can do BP4 60 fps at low, the m330 cannot, even close.

The i5 6200u is faster and has more memory, so if the price is the same, I'd get it over the i3. (Both chips are 2 cores with Hyperthreading)
