Hello which of these two CPUs would preform better. I know that Intel's i5-6200U is faster but on the other hand AMD's A6-7310 one has 4 cores. I would be using my laptop for daily usage and occasional online gaming e.g. Runescape etc.

The other question if you could please help me is that as a whole package which one of these laptops would be better preforming for up written criterias.

Computer 1:
CPU: A6-7310 Carrizo (4 cores, cache: 2 MB),
RAM: 8GB
Hard drive: HDD SATA 1TB
Graphics card: AMD Radeon R4

Computer 2:
CPU: i5-6200U Skylake (2 cores, cache 3MB)
RAM: 6GB
Hard drive: HDD SATA 1TB
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce 920M (cache: 2GB)


Thanks a lot for your help before hand!! I really do appreciate you helping me! :)

The A6-7310 APU will about equal to a 3rd generation Core i3-3217u CPU in terms of raw performance. The Radeon R4 graphics core would be a little slower than the Intel HD 4000 in the Core i3-3217u.

The Intel HD 520 in the i5-6200u is around 50% - 60% more powerful than the Intel HD 4000. The nVidia 920m is probably around 50% more powerful than the Intel HD 520 on average.

Computer 2 has a stronger CPU and a stronger GPU. Computer 1 has more RAM because it will allocate a certain amount of that for video RAM, whereas in computer 2 you have all 6GB for system memory and dedicated vRAM on the 920M.
