The 2nd one is better by a lot. The gpu is the main reason. It beats the amd gpu by quite a bit.

The Intel build is definitely superior between the two, but don't expect anything other than average gaming performance.

For starters, the i5 is only dual core with hyper-threading, not the quad core variety you find in the desktop counterparts. With a clock speed of 2.6Ghz, it won't exactly set the world on fire either. The GT 750M is better than what you usually get, but like the i5, it's still rather average. Don't expect smooth 1080p performance with the settings cranked up.

Well the CPU uses newer architecture, thus it works more efficiently.
The 750m GPU is well faster, a lot faster than the 7640G
And nearly twice as much RAM speaks for itself.

Better CPU, Better GPU, more RAM. The intel build is clearly superior.
