Son diferentes, es mejor el AMD ya que la relación precio potencia es inigualable, el i5 es tirar el dinero, que para eso te compras un i7 para los que quieran rendimiento mas optimo. el A8 es para pcs que no vayan a ser utilizados para juegos, diseño, etc... Aunque si le metes una buena grafica seguro que rinde bien acompañada de buena memoria, pero lo dicho si no miras mucho la pasta y necesitas mejores prestaciones piyate directamente un i7 o un AMD FX8350
