Which is better: Intel Core i3 or AMD Athlon II X2

I think the i3 is better, but I want to make sure, the i3 processor specifically is an i3-370M and I'm also looking at another that is an i3-2330M.

i3 would win any day.

The 2330M is a tiny bit slower (0.2GHz difference) but it's much newer so I'd go with it.

The Athlon II x2 has roughly 20% less processing power than a 1st generation Clarkdale Core i3 CPU if both CPU are clocked at the same speed.

Put simply, he's saying that an Athlon II X2 is 20% slower than an i3.
