AMD Quad Core A6 vs. Intel Core i3?

-I am about to buy a new laptop,m and I am debating between two different ones. One has the AMD Quad Core A6 3400m processor and the other has the Intel COre i3 processor. They are about the same price, and I just wanted to know which one is better and faster. I will use this laptop for just casual everyday use, music, video chat, school stuff, and just surfing the web. Any suggestions will help. Thank you!the a6 is Superior. it has a dedicated 1 gb graphics card in a fusion design. that means the processor and graphics card share the same physical space but they operate independently.it allows it to run more efficiently and powerfully.by running more efficiently, it saves on the life of your battery and your laptop. the i3 you rooking at probably has integrated graphics,not dedicated like the a6. the a6 also has turbo boost, that means it runs slow normally, but when it needs to operate faster/more powerfully, it turbo boosts up to 2.5 ghz,which is more then enough for any program.in addition the A6 is a quad core processor. so for price,efficiency, and power the A6 is superior. it is a brand new processor that just came out, so i would not be surprised if alot of the commenter's did not know they specs of this processor. if you need more help,feel free to contact me.The new AMD A series processor is superior to the Intel core i series in most regards, especially in graphics where it kicks Intel's ***!! I would go with the AMD A series. Here are a few models to consider:
