Here is the interesting thing Tony. The comparison here to me is with the i3 4th Gen as the i5 really is in another class. That said I would take the AMD over 2nd Gen i5. I thought I would see Intel higher rated though I have always felt the Apu from Amd blows out the comparable Intel Apus so I googled it and low and behold Tom's sees it the same way I do.

I think the Amd Apu is a real hit in laptops BTW because it takes away the cruddy onboard video that always slows down the laptop and suddenly makes AMD competitive in laptops. There is a greater similarity to me in All-in-Ones with laptop performannce vs desktop as they use a lot of laptop hardware.

I have been building mostly FM2+ desktops this year and I find them quicker than the Amd AM3 cpus.
My own main system is the top FM2+ Apu (A10 7850K) and I replaced a troublesome Gen4 Intel system (I believe 4620 cpu) and I don't see a bit of difference. Of course I don't do anything really heavy duty other than an occasional Photoshop project. I just went to buy a board and a cpu for a blown system and was surprised to note Newegg and Tiger had way more FM2+ boards and apus than the AM3 series so it would appear business is matching performance as well.
