The Core i3-5020u is at least as powerful as the A8-7410 APU and that is assuming all 4 cores in the APU is being used.

The Core i3's Intel HD 5500 is more powerful than the Radeon R5 (Beema) graphics core in the A8 APU. The Radeon R5 (Beema) is only about as powerful as the Intel HD 4000 graphics core which is 2 generations older than the Intel HD 5500.
