processors which is better?
I need a new lap top and would like some feedback
•Intel® Core™ i7-720QM processor
•Intel® Core™ i7-2630QM processor
or
•Quad-core AMD A6-3410MX processor
Are they the same give or take for xara/graphics as this is what it will be used for
Cheers

Re: processors which is better?
AMD is pretty decent, but they have gone off the boil in recent years.
So of the other two, i7-2630QM. It's newer - and 2Ghz so better than the 1.6Ghz of the former.
But for Xara use - any of those would be fine. So if there's a signifcant price difference the i7-720QM is fine. If the price difference is small, go for i7-2630QM as you might as well.

I use the following site to check the actual speeds you can expect from various processors. Using this shows the i7 760 is the fastest and the amd is ALOT slower.
