Amd® quad-core a6 processor

Is AMD Quad-Core A6 Processor good for Photoshop ? Thanks.

Well, "good" is a relative term. There are worse processors and certainly much better ones as they relate to Photoshop performance, but yes, I would say the A6 would handle most Photoshop tasks adequately.

@ OSU Cowboy : Thanks for the response.
Is Amd® quad-core a6 processor better than Intel's i3 or i5 ? Thank you in advance.

I can tell you that, and that answer is a resounding NO. An i3 would walk all over it, and an i5 would destroy it.

Your question is a bit too broad. Perhaps this will help. But in general yes, either the i3 or i5 would be a superior choice.

Passmark benches are unreliable. THIS is a better one. A6 compared to an i3 2100. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/403?vs=289 Not even close.
