| Intel Core i5 3210M vs AMD A10 5750M |
Gaming is a way of life. Before, a gamer could only play at home, confined to bulky desktop PCs. But now, laptops are powerful enough and thus he can game even while on the go. For this matchup, we’re comparing two middle range laptops for the value conscious gamer: the Intel Core i5 3210M versus the AMD A10 5750M.
The 3210M is a Dual core clocked at 2.5 GHz, with 3MB cache and 35W TDP power consumption. For its integrated graphics, it packs an HD 4000 which is decent for desktop performance but quite weak when it comes to gaming. But to its credit, its Hyperthreading feature is brilliant in maximizing core efficiency for CPU intensive tasks.
In contrast is the 5750M with a similar 2.5 GHz clock speed, but has four cores for multi-threaded performance. It has 4MB cache and consumes the same power at 35W TDP. Its highlight feature is its fantastic onboard GPU, the Radeon HD 8650G GPU; which can play the latest games at medium or even high settings.
Looking at the benchmarks however, the 3210M was able to come out on top. In the PassMark Single core test, it had a 25% advantage over the competition. Likewise, it led by 9% in the 3DMark06 CPU test, 22% in 3DMark11 physics, and an astonishing 65% in the Geekbench 32-bit benchmark. These tests prove that the Intel Core i5 architecture is more efficient and performs better.
In conclusion, the AMD A10 5750M can game alright, but only at passable settings; thus it leaves a lot to be desired. For a better option, we recommend purchasing a laptop with a discrete GPU and the Intel Core i5 3210M for a powerhouse combination.
