i5 for sure. a10 is approximately equal (generally worse when you consider everything) vs an i3. i5 is faster and a8 is slower. graphics are much more similar between the two considering the a8 only has 256 shaders vs the 384 of the a10.

Thanks, was that A8 shaders, 256 vs 384 of the A10? (or did you mean vs the Intel i5?)
