In the market for a new computer for go pro editing. Should i go with the AMD or intel processors? I dont do any online gaming just wanting to be able to edit videos. From what ive read something in the amd a6/ intel i5 should do the job but which one would you choose and why?

Thanks

I've had better service out of amd processors over the years, but am currently using a Intel I3 on a cheap laptop I travel with.

Either of the 2 you mentioned should do what you need to do....

For what its worth I prefer the Intel over the AMD. My experience in the past always proved the Intel faster and more stable.

Go here http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/cpu-charts-2012/-32-TotalCode-Studio-v2.5,3167.html scroll down to the list of processors and find a computer with the best processor (lower score is better) that is within your budget.

No online gaming, overclocking, CAD, etc? Won't matter. But since you asked, go Intel.

I don't keep up with Apple, but I thought they were using Intel processors instead of IBM/Motorola in the Mac.
