Intel Core i7 6500U  vs AMD A10 7th Gen A10-9600P 

I bought my A10-9600p on July 4th last year..best thing I ever did..I got rid of my old E1-2100 and went for the A10-9600p...I was like wow... and the 6GB of Ram that came with the laptop is now 8GB on dual Channel...The upgrade is performing much better :)

Figurative language... it helps in communicating with people who aren't numerically inclined.

Uh.... What?

Comparing the Intel Core i7 6500U vs the AMD A10 7th Gen A10-9600P on the basis of benchmarks makes little sense to me. They diverge more by function than by performance. AMD => video and games; Intel => whatever it is at which Intel excels... maybe video editing, or recalculating multi-dimensional decision matrices with thousands of parameters. But in contests of neural reflexes, hand-eye coordination, and mental-manual dexterity, the AMD A10 7th Gen A10-9600P dominates the skies, dusts off the SAMs and the RPG launchers, defoliates the swamps, and leaves nothing but scorched earth for the Intel Core i7 6500U to navigate. Benchmarks don't measure that match-up, and a faster i7 doesn't change the balance of power. It's more about "home turf neighborhood" than about clock rates and pixels refreshed per millisecond, although the latter do matter. Video games are AMD's home turf, and anyone else trying to own their turf is facing armaments and tactics that have been honed and tuned since the mid-80's or before. You don't bring a Presentation Suite to a light-sword fight, or at least, you don't get to do it twice. To deny AMD its own neighborhood would require burning it down and replacing it with a different kind of amusement park. Good luck with that.
