Core is Intel's. Simple core can be considered as a low-end model of Intel or an old model. After the new core, there will be an IX, such as i3, i5 and i7, which are positioned at low, medium and high end respectively, while AMD is a brand, which corresponds to Intel and also includes all models of high, medium and low end.

It's good to work with Core, with low power consumption and low price. AMD's CPU is not suitable for novice computers, but its advantage is its high cost performance.

If recommended, the best processor in the low-end positioning is Intel's I3 processor, and AMD's is Athlon II 2XX series, such as dual-core 220, 250 and so on.

Note: the performance of the two is not of the same grade.
