AMD 8 vs AMD10

[katliz2015]

Would the 2nd combo provide any improvement to movie/show streaming? I do not do gaming and plan to also include 8GB DDR3L System Memory.

AMD Quad-Core A8-6410 Processor + AMD Radeon(TM) R5 Graphics
OR
AMD Quad-Core A10-4655M Processor + AMD Radeo(TM) HD 7620G Graphics

The second will not provide anything extra to movies or tv shows, but it would take a slight part in multitasking but in this case you will not notice the differences since your not gaming

Get which ever is cheaper and buy some popcorn with the extra cash

No, for watching movies/streams the A8 will be sufficient and the A10 will not offer any advantage for that purpose, for now. Possibly for future codecs the A10 can offer an advantage as it is a more powerful apu.

The A8-6410 is a much newer processor than the A10-4655M. The A8-6410 is both faster and more power efficient than the A10-4655M. With that being said, as far as watching movies goes both processors are going to be pretty much exactly the same. Unless you are going to be doing any gaming there will be no noticeable difference. As for as gaming, the A10-4655M has a better GPU and would be slightly better if you were to do gaming.
