AMD or intel?

[inorganics]

Which is better?
Should I get the AMD quad core as my processor and it would have the radeon HD graphics card, or getting an intel i5 processor but has the intel HD for a graphics card? I play a few games, but like not all the time. Hopefully its good enough to play League of legends
I dont have that much money so I cant buy whatever I want.

so you're intending to the the integrated graphics either way? then it depends, if you just want it to be able to display, but be great on the processing side, go with the intel, if you want to be able to do a bit of light gaming at the expense of a little processing power, go with the AMD

From a gaming perspective, you want the laptop with the more powerful iGPU. There are many different APU's with varying Radeon iGPU models, not all of them are faster than whatever Intel iGPU is in the Intel CPU. You need to be specific about which laptops you are considering. However, in general the best AMD iGPU is better than the best Intel iGPU.

It depends on the task, at gaming AMD and Intel are about equal depending on how much the game uses the processor. If you're doing video rendering I would buy an Intel processor like an i5. AMD sells cheaper processors that are better for overclocking (Increasing the base speed of the processor) and have more cores for less price. Intel sells more powerful processors that don't even need to be overclocked to be really good. If you plan on gaming don't use the integrated video that comes on the chip, get a graphics card like a GTX 660 or a GTX650 Ti.

You do know you are answering a question in the laptop sub-forum right?

If anyone can cram a desktop GTX 660 or a GTX 650 Ti into a laptop, then that person needs to contact me immediately.

Also note that the poster has stated...

my vote will be the amd apu.the integrated gpu inside the amd apu prove to be better than intel integrated graphics.but if it cpu wise intel is a good choice due to the better architecture.but since u prefer to game go for amd.
