i5 3427u vs Phenom X6 1055T

Hey guys, purely a curiosity exercise, how do the above cpu's compare? I know the desktop i5's are normally a lot better than their cheaper AMD counterparts, but how do the mobile version compare, purely considering they run on a lot lower voltage and clock?

Would I see major performance differences in gaming/video crunching etc? Trying to work out which I am best using for uploading youtube vids etc

The Phenom II should be better.

That i5's just an i3 with boost really.

Well the desktop i5's are 4 physical and 4 virtual cores aren't they?

Is this a dual core with another 2 virtual cores?

no they arent't

desktop i5 = 4 cores, 4 threads
mobile i5 = 2 cores, 4 threads

that i5 is ULV so its performance is somewhere around full power mobile i3 of the same architecture.

Ahh ok, it still seems to beast through a lot, the fact it doesn't have a HDD is the only let down (my laptop that is)
