Comparing Processors

I'm looking to get a new laptop ($500 max). I looked at this machine at Sam's Club.

HP Pavilion g7 Laptop AMD DC A4-3305M, 640GB, 17.3"

Here's my question. I don't know anything about this processor:

"AMD Dual-Core A4-3305M"

How does it compare to the Intel I-5?

All suggestions and comments welcome.

Thanks

It's an APU which has a graphics core but it looks like the low end so if you want to use the laptop to game I would get something faster.

Is the Pentium I-5 fast enough for gaming?
