which amd laptop should i buy

[sidharth singh]

please help which one should i buy a laptop with amd E1 6010 with 2gb dedicated graphic memory ATI JET LE R5 M230 or an amd quad core A8 6410 apu with amd radeon r5 graphics

For what purpose?

Neither of those laptops are on par with a core i3 intel cpu; frankly none of the AMD chips in laptops are very good when compare them to the same specs of their competitors.

The first one is a low power processor that will be ok-ish for internet browsing and Microsoft Office but that is about it and the 2gb ram will keep you from multitasking or doing anything even slightly demanding.

The second one has a low-medium end gpu embedded into the chip so it will play most games, not on any type of high settings, but it will play them. The cpu is ok but is still noticeably weaker then a Core i3 cpu. It is at best equal to a Pentium if not a little bellow it.

as i have been reading i have found that amd a8 is better than i3.what do you suggest

 

[boosted1g]

Where have you read that an a8 is better then an i3? From AMD.com or from some forums posted by kids justifying buying their cheap laptop, or from professionals that do actual benchmarks and proper reviews?

The only thing better in the a8 chip is the graphics chip.

I'm also interested to know whether A8-7100, in particular, is weaker than for example i3 40XXU CPU. I've checked some of those "benchmarks", if I can call them like that: http/cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i3-4010U-vs-AMD-A8-7100 and there's not much of a difference between those two.

I would very much appreciate if you could share an actual benchmark between AMD A8 and i3 CPU's!

the laptops m buying are of the same price either amd or i3.but as i compared both processors on google
i found out dat
amd a8 clock speed -2 ghz while i3 4010u is 1.7 ghz
a8- l2 cache 2mb i3-l2 cache .5mb
gpu clock speed a8 -800mhz and i3 200mhz
so i thought maybe amd is better.and i dont have any further knowledge about these.

The GPU is better on the amd.

Clock speed does not mean real word speed. It all has to do with architecture.
Case in point a modern i7 at 3.1 ghz will smoke an AMD FX-8320 at 3.5 ghz.
If you just look at clock speed then a modern core i5 would be the exact same performance as 6 year old core 2 quad cpu.

Here is a link of your a8 and a Haswel Core i3: =2410&cmp[]=2266]https/www.cpubenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=2410&cmp[]=2266

Comparing the 7100: =2410&cmp[]=2318]https/www.cpubenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=2410&cmp[]=2318


In short, if you want to play games, for your price range the a8 is the clear best choice.
For any other use an i3 will real world be much more efficient and responsive.

ok thanx are you using an amd or intel

 

[boosted1g]

Mine and my wife's laptop is using intel (one an i3 and the other an i5)
Desktop is using AMD fx-8320.
In desktops AMD has some decent chips, in laptops amd has just never been able to compete.
An i5 is better then my AMD chip in my desktop but my AMD chip is $100 cheaper for 80% the performance.
