Hello! I'm new to this forum :D

I wish to know which of these two laptops can give me a better perfomance in games (not super heavy ones, mostly online ones like TERA and things like that. Also games offline like Fallout 4 or Skyrim)

The specs:
1) Dell Inspiron 15.6 5555
CPU: AMD A10-8700p
RAM: 12GB DDR3
GPU: Radeon R6 8700p
HDD: 1TB

2) Dell Inspiron 15.6 3543
CPU: Intel Core i5 5200u
RAM: 4GB DDR3 (I will upgrade this)
GPU: Nvidia Geforce 1gb 820m and Intel HD 5500
HDD: 500GB

I read that the Carrizo CPU has this range of watts of 15-35 that prevent the CPU to function properly and run some games very very slow. The i5 doesn't seem to have this issue but the other specs are worse than the 8700p.

Could you guys help me choose this one please? I'm planning to use it for college and some light gaming (as I stated before) on weekends or vacations.

(Please don't tell me that I should save and buy another laptop or try another one, I just want to know which one would suit better) Also if there is a solution for changing the watts of the 8700p please I would appreciate if someone posted it! Thanks :D

They are both extremely equal. The Intel CPU is better, but the other has 12GB of ram and A larger HDD.
so either one is good and fairly equal gpu's

So the Intel one has an equal gpu and superior cpu

The AMD one has more ram and more HDD

Then I guess I will be picking the Intel one, since I was going to upgrade its ram anyways and I don't think it would make difference 500gb more of memory. Thanks for the answers tho!
