Intel Core i3 4030U  vs AMD A8 6410 

He said AMD A8 is more likely to overheat because he wants you to buy the more expensive computer so he can get a bigger paycheck.

AMD processors are notorious for overheating. They just run hotter than Intels. For that reason AMD processors tend to burn out after 3-4 years whereas Intel processors will never burn out on you. I've worked in a computer repair shop and we'd get at least 5-6 AMD laptops a day with fried processors and motherboards. Never seen a fried Intel. Not once.

which one is better then? ineed to buy a laptop for work in my office ( office package, nutrition programs for planning diets )and i would like to know which one is better

I have an A8 6410 and the laptop it's pritty cold, also playing games like Rayman legends. No hot air flow throwg cooler

APU's are retarded. period. They are okay in prebuilt PC's and all in ones also the lid soldering thing isnt true, usually theres no lid its just the chip itsself is soldered in place because all amd chips dont have a lid like the Nvidia cpu's it's just a little snap thing to hold the cpu in the socket, it doesnt actually touch the top of the cpu

This is false. Overheating is only caused by extreme temperatures usually generated by overclocking or extreme load.

i have had my AMD running at 80 degrees due to overclocking for a little over a day and this has cause no damage but my intel was dead and gone around 70 degrees so i think its just luck weather you get a good one to take heat or not.

thing about that is that amd cpu's can have the cpu lid soldered on which means they can dissipate heat more efficiently than intel ones, intel cpu coolers are only as good as the thermal interface material they used with and on everything but the haswell refresh they used absolute shit tim which is why the temp limit is higher.

this means intel processor can still work under 100 degree temp and AMD will most likely stop working once the temp is more than 70 degree

AMD has maximum temperature of around 70 degrees while intel has about 100 degrees, explain that.

it depens on the cooling but yeah amd cpus tend to get more hotter but they also can stand alot more heat so i ifind it unlikely that it will actually overheat

Overheating? The guy in the shop said the A8 was more likely to overheat. Any comment true or false??
