It depends what for.

The A10 5800k performance wise is around the same as a latest gen i3 and is around the same price.

However the integrated graphics is far better. The 5800k has the best integrated graphics on any processor by quite a bit. Far better than anything on any of the intel chips.

This won't make a difference if you aren't gaming or if you are getting a dedicated graphics card.

For cpu performance the i5 would be well ahead of it but the prices are very different.

yeah but thats the a10 5800k, i'm talking about the a10 5700 with amd radeon integrated graphics i think its called. Would this be sufficient to run a few programs simultaneously?? Would it run AutoCAD smoothly? Would it last well? the computer has 8gb ram and 2tb harddrive.
