hey guys.....now im planning to buy a new laptop. i hav 2 target, firts laptop using AMD A6-3420m + HD6520 CF with HD7670.
and the second laptop using Intel Pentium B960 + nvidia GT610.
the price of both laptop is almost same. i'll using the laptop 4 design program, like photoshop, illustrator, premiere etc. so, witch one will giv best performance for that activities ? thanks
*sorry 4 my bad english, im indonesian. hope u undestand.

I would recommend the A6 for a general use laptop but given as you don't do any GPU intensive tasks, the B960 will probably be technically faster slightly in those programs.

I'd get the AMD as well.

so, u guess A6 is better than B960 at that task?

so, B960 is better choice for that purpose? yes....i'll not do an intensive gaming. i'll more use it for designing task.
and again, how far the performance different, b960 againts i3-series (with hd3000) ?

A6 is faster in gaming and multithreaded tasks.

the b960 will be only slightly slower than the i3 and you really should see much difference. The HD3000 is ok but the 610m is a bit faster.

can photoshop/ilustrator/premiere use all cores in A6 efficiently? if thats right, i'll go for A6.
thanks

so, in real-world task, theres no much difference between b960 and i3?

Adobe programs will get more performance from the 7670M and the onboard APU graphics. Just make sure you enable GPU acceleration in the settings of each program.
