The i5 will be better for gaming, but the A10 will potentially be better for video editing and rendering etc.

The integrated Radeon R5 graphics card of the A10 and the speed of the APU (especially with turbo boost) make it compete with the Intel i7. Honestly, it would be the better buy. I just bought one and it's great, but my Intel had a lot of sentimental value (it was my first laptop's processor XD), but this performance is more than worth it!

Yes, but the i5 has much better single core performance.

Actually, an i3 6100u still has more multithreaded performance than an A10 9600p:

Also, in a TDP constrained environment, Intel's HD5xx iGPU outperforms AMD's most of the time, so the A10 really has nothing on an Intel CPU.
