Buying a new laptop. I wonder which processor would more benefit with VDJ 8:
AMD A10-7300 vs Intel Core i7-4510U: http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/426/AMD_A10-Series_for_Notebooks_A10-7300_vs_Intel_Core_i7_Mobile_i7-4510U.html
and, which laptop you would buy? AMD Processor + radeo is 200 euros cheaper.

Lenovo IdeaPad Z50-70:
Intel Core i7-4510U
Nvidia GT 840M / 4 GB
price: 699€

In my opinion, always go for Intel. The AMD may be cheaper, but it can cause problems sometimes with compatibility.

amd still have 4 cores. Does it benefit if you play 4 decks at the same time?

Having more (cores) are only good for software that takes advantage of having multiple cores.and i dont think VDJ really matters.more cores are for programs like video editing & rending. Stuff like that.but stick with Intel i7 if u can i5 is cool i wouldn't go as low as the i3
