Both CPUs should give virtually the same battery life assuming the battery capacity is the same in both laptops.įor everyday use either one would be fine, but I would prefer the i5-2450m since it is a more powerful CPU which means the A6-4400m would "feel" more sluggish sooner than the i5-2450m.

However, TDP does not directly say how power efficient a CPU is. If you will be using the laptop for CPU based tasks (CAD work, etc.), then the i5 would be a better option, however if gaming is your priority, then AMD definitely (which you can easily overclock on the CPU part and approach i5 in terms of raw performance).īoth A6-4400m and Core i5-2450 are both rated at 35w. I think its possible for an A6 to approach the i5 2450m in terms of raw CPU performance through overclocking - needs to be close to 2.3 or 2.4GhZ though (or 2.6GhZ) if I'm not mistaken. Or, you could ultimately keep the voltage as is and overclock it more (I wouldn't worry about temperatures though as the A6 is a pretty cool chip as is).

In that regard, you could do the same thing Xenturion did (undervolt and Overclock at the same time and your cpu will not only run faster, but consume less power in the process). The HD3000 on the other hand is a lot less powerful than 7520G.Īlso, the A6 should be overclockable. The i5 2450m on the other hand is a more powerful CPU than A6-4400M. More threads in a cpu translate to less than 5% performance difference (if that - I was being generous).
