I'm assuming you're looking at gaming laptops based off the A6 7310.
In this case, most i3's, and frankly, even the pentium 3825u will outperform the AMD cpu.
However if you wish to maximize performance the i5 processors are generally better than their i3 counterparts because they are focused more on low power consumption rather than gaming.

As for games, 2d games such as the binding of isaac, and older 3d titles like half life should not have problems on either CPU other than temperature. But newer 3d titles will not meet system requirements or struggle immensely.

In conclusion the i3's are technically better, but if you want to play newer 3d titles then I would recommend investing in an i5 or even i7 powered laptop. I'll link the passmark tests for the A6 compared to i3's as well as the tomshardware recommended laptops page.
