AMD E1-6015

Intel Core i7-3940XM

Differences

Reasons to consider the Intel Core i7-3940XM

Processor is unlocked, an unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
2 more cores, run more applications at once: 4 vs 2
6 more threads: 8 vs 2
A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 22 nm vs 28 nm
2x more L1 cache, more data can be stored in the L1 cache for quick access later
Around 10% better performance in GFXBench 4.0 - T-Rex (Frames): 2709 vs 2454
Around 10% better performance in GFXBench 4.0 - T-Rex (Fps): 2709 vs 2454
6.8x better performance in CompuBench 1.5 Desktop - Face Detection (mPixels/s): 14.555 vs 2.146
