My 2 cents worth
The biggest difference between the A8-3850 and the A8-3870K is in terms of the clocks.
The CPU core on the newer chip has been bumped up from 2.9GHz to 3GHz,
though the GPU clock remains unchanged at 600MHz—but both are now unlocked.
This means you may overclock them to your heart's (and your PC's thermal) content,
independently of each other, to get as much new performance as you can muster.
It's also one of the first genuinely compelling reasons we've seen for enthusiasts (or just wannabes)
to consider an APU that, by the broader standards of AMD's product line,
is not an exceptional performer.

Because it's fast but cheap. I've never had an AMD processor, so I can't really compare Intel to AMD, so I can't give you a personal opinion as to why it's faster.

IF it says AMD watch out, It WILL make you cry. AMD is cheaper but the product has severe issues in longevity. I've had both and granted intel is more expensive, It's worth my money even if i have to sacrifice speed.
