The Intel Core i3-4330 is a budget dual-core four threaded 4th generation Haswell processor released in Q3 2013. The i3-4330 has gained popularity by offering a good balance between low power, good performance and value for money. It scores a strong effective speed of 89% with its base clock of 3.5 GHz which means that users will experience smooth and fast performance with the majority of desktop applications. Additionally its two cores and four virtual cores are adequate for most games. The i3-4330 features Intel HD Graphics 4600 which are comparable to AMD integrated graphics when it comes to 3D gaming. But serious gamers will need to keep enough money aside for a dedicated GPU. An 8% premium on the list price would buy you the i3-4340 which has a 100 MHz advantage on its base clock speed (full comparison here). [Nov '14 CPUPro]

The AMD A10-5700 is a quad-core Trinity APU (combined CPU and GPU) based on launched in Q4 of 2012. The A10-5700 is reasonably power efficient with a TDP of 65 Watts. In terms of performance the A10-5700 scores an effective speed of 68 versus the A10-6800K’s 73. Its base clock speed is 3.4 GHz which automatically turbo boosts to 4.0 GHz when needed and is sufficient for most generic desktop applications. The integrated HD 8670 Graphics are comparable to Intel's recent HD offerings. The A10-5700 offers reasonable performance at a reasonable price point. But comparing the A10-6700 and i3-4330 shows that the comparably priced 4330 is a far more compelling alternative given its almost outright advantage on every metric. [Dec '14 CPUPro]
