Core i3 2310m or A6-3400m Question and Answers

Here is question and answer from tomshardware.com about Core i3 2310m or A6-3400m.

Question :

Hi all,
I am looking to buy a new laptop for ~$600 or less. It is an upgrade from a 1000HE EEEpc and my hope is to get more mainstream performance out of it. I need it for general computing/internet/video watching but will not be doing any gaming on it. I prefer 11-14″ form factor for portability and would love to get ~5 hr+ battery life.

Is an HP Probook 4430s better than a Toshiba P745D-S4240 for general computing, internet use, and watching HD video?

More generally, should I try to go after an i3-2310m with HD3000 graphics or an A6-3400 within this budget? Which is better when games are not being considered?

Thanks

Answer :

It’s a little hard to say. Both are good computers, with AMD’s Llano showing great promise as a contender to Intel’s Core i series. The integrated graphics on the A6-3400 should be a tad better than the HD3000, but probably not by much… The A6 MIGHT have better battery life than the i3 though, so that’s something to keep in mind if battery life is one of your bigger concerns.

In terms of processing performance, the Core i3 is better than the A6.

However, for games, the A6 will be better overall because of the better graphics core. But in games that are more CPU bound than GPU bound, the Core i3 will perform better.
