The Intel Core i5-4460 is a slightly upgraded version of Intel's 2013 Haswell i5-4440. Comparing the i5-4460 and i5-4440 shows that the only change is an increase in both base and turbo frequencies from 3.4 to 3.5 GHz. In terms of effective speed the 4460 is exactly on a par with the average of the top ten user rated CPUs, not a bad result for an i5. Thanks to its four cores the 4460 is can easily deal with the vast majority of desktop computing (email, web browsing, word processing etc.). In fact this model is probably overpowered for the majority of users. Most users wont require the multi-core capabilities that the 4460 offers and will do better to choose a lower powered and cheaper CPU. [Jun '14CPUPro]
The AMD A10-6700 is a quad-core Richland APU (CPU+GPU) based on second generation Bulldozer micro-architecture (code named Piledriver) launched in Q3 of 2013. The A10-6700 is the power efficient (TDP of 65 Watts) version of the A10-6800K (TDP of 100 Watts) and is only slightly slower, scoring an effective speed of 68 versus the A10-6800K’s 73. Its base clock speed is 3.7 GHz which automatically turbo boosts to 4.3 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 A10-6700 offers reasonable performance at a reasonable price point. But comparing the A10-6700 and i3-4360 shows that the comparably priced 4360 wins hands down on nearly every metric, and is therefore a better alternative. [Dec '14CPUPro]
