processors which is better?

[scruffy.thedog]

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

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.
