  • What should be prioritised, single thread score or CPU mark.

    Looking to buy a laptop, for the long-term, for mainly study and work.
    I want to make sure I'm getting my best value, I'm looking currently at laptops with these three processors
    1: AMD A9-9410 X
    2: Intel Core i3-6006U @ 2.00GHz X
    3: AMD A10-7300 APU
    The I3-6006U has a significantly larger CPU mark, whereas the AMD A9-9410 has a significantly better single thread score.
    Which should I prioritise?

    The A10-7300 is really old, so ignore that option.

    I haven't done the research but the i3-6006U should have better battery life. Other factors like price, weight, SSD, warranty and screen quality are probably more important than the difference in CPU performance between the other two CPUs. If all that was equal I think I would take the A9.
    The i3 multi-thread performance looks OK due to hyper-threading, but not all software works efficiently with hyper-threading.
