An A-Series procesor fighting against I7 6ºg... I've already seen it all

IDK what to think anymore, I have a lenovo 310-15abr AMD A12 is good for office stuff, but games are everything but good, baad compatibility with drivers and a lot of headaches with the R7 V-card...

Overall, the AMD A12-9700P is more powerful than the Intel i7 due to its powerful integrated GPU. It can also be purchased in laptops for half the cost of the Intel i7, so is also vastly much better value for money.
