Difference in computer processors?

My wife and I are looking at buying a new laptop and we've narrowed it down to two. The first laptop has a Intel Pentium 2117U Processor, while the second laptop said it has AMD E1-2500

Which processor would be better?

    the intel one is faster but the amd has better graphics. basically they work about the same when you combine the graphics and the processor. but i would go with the amd because the amd will use less battery life and have lower heat stress. contact me if you need more help. jdbj32m@yahoo.com

    oh, i would also not buy windows 8,i would get a win 7 laptop.

    Hi,

    It all depends on what You 2 want the laptop to do ...

    Some games and software can be coded to use certain "unlockable" features in either processor, but unless Your using it for that, or some other intensive mathematicak processing power like HUGE databases, an office server, or HEAVILY streaming video ... either processor will do simple day-to-day stuff VERY well ...

    G'Luck!!

    better depends on your preferences but I would say AMD is more reliable than Intel, but that is my personal opinion, there really isnt enough of a difference between the two for there to be any real reason to choose one over the other.

    Benchmarks tell me the Intel processor is way more powerful. Both of those processors are still not very good by modern standards, but the Intel one will be faster.
