intel 5200u vs amd a10 8700p

Ive decided to buy a laptop and i am wondering which will better combo for gaming and cad . i have two options intel 5200u with gt 940m gfx card and amd a10-8700p with r7 m360 . i will use it for gaming low to mid settings high if achievable which i doubt it will and autocad , photoshop , revit etc .

940m would be faster, but very marginal for your uses, the "u" versions are lower power CPUs, 940m is a low end video card for games. A10 CPU is not as powerful as the i5. If that's all you can get, the i5 system with 940m is better than the A10 but either one is a compromise.

I guess ill just go with the i5 as im on a budget and cant really stress more money even as bad these specs are this laptop costs 800$ in india
