Which of these 2 laptop setups would you go for strictly from a gaming point of view?

Question

First off I know these are not great gaming specs, but it one or the other.

Setup #1    AMD A6-3400m (1.4Ghz/2.3Ghz Turbo)   with  Radeon hd 6520g

Setup #2    Intel i5-2430m    (2.4Ghz/3.0Ghz Turbo)   with Intel HD 3000

I absolutely know that the Radeon 6520g is almost twice as fast as the Intel HD 3000, but with the CPU performance being greater with the intel system I wanted your opinion.

Please don't suggest other models or anything like that.  It's one of these for sure.   
Assuming all other specs are equal.  Which would you go for.    Actually the CPU benchmarks for the AMD chip are not that far off from the i5 chip considering the wide diff in GHZ.

That Intel HD GPU will bottleneck the CPU so badly. You won't be able to play latest games even at lowest settings. I would go with AMD one if these two were the only choices.
