The i3 is, simply, a more powerful CPU. However, if you plan to use integrated, you should seriously consider waiting for Haswell. One of its main advertised features is drastically improved integrated graphics.

Edit: Or, as ksham said, the A10-5800k.

what are you going to doing with this PC? any kind of gaming? get the A10...

just using it for youtube/facebook/email/browsing? get the Intel. in the long run the i3 is far superior and you can add a discrete GPU later to make it a better gaming PC then the A10 by itself.

the A6 is pointless if you're debating on getting an i3 vs FM2 socket AMD. because they're both duel core does not make them equal.

as you say you want to do CAD/CAM/Programming the i3 would be better suited for these things. but nothing wrong with doing them on the FM2 socket (A6/A10) they just don't have the same specs and are two different architectures. thus giving you different performance when it comes to rendering.

I think i miss thread for pricing since there is lot of difference between i3 price and A6 price .
Yup i agree with you that A10 had 4 cores and can go with it but friend you think about power consumption i3 toots nearly 25W normally for working and A10 takes 100W for processing . So this is the main difference i am taking abut

I have an a6 and so far its running really well, on the stock cooler i upped it to 4.0ghz and the gpu to 1086...Just make sure that you get 1866mhz or faster ram or else it wont be as good as it could. Faster memory=more fps

i currently have a Intel i3 and a AMD A6-3420 laptop. From my experience: The AMD smokes the i3 when its comes to audio editing (DAW). Keep in mind that the AMD APU's are differ architecture than Intel "i" Series. The AMD dual-core would probably lag behind a i3 by a fall trail but with a AMD A6 Quad-core...nah.

When we do benchmarks, we should specify what we want the Computer to.. do. For audio, we benchmark using DAW's and their CPU meters. In this case the A6 Quad-Cores smoke the i3 because it uses 4 "physical" cores by architecture instead of 2 physical cores and 2 "imaginary" friends (hyperT)
found in the i3.

CPU's in my opinion are at a innovation peak and are seriously over-kill when its comes to quad-core or higher. Anything Quad-core these days, rather AMD or Intel, is more than enough horsepower for any CPU hogging software host.

in your case, your dealing with graphics and games. Therefore, CPU is not the bigger factor.
