this ^^ is only because the i3 had no GPU, so B would be better in gaming.

Well, thats not 100% correct. The Core i3 has an integrated GPU which just happens to be a lot worse than what you get with the A8. Actually, the integrated GPU on the A8 is pretty decent (it's the best among the integrated ones) This is also the reason why the A8 wins all gaming benchmarks where no additional GPU is used.

That's what I'm saying the i3 would have done better if it had the GPU your getting in B.
