How fast is an Intel i3 processor? And what Intel processor would be equal to an AMD 8?

best windows 8 laptop for video editing image

See, I am hunting for a new Windows 8 Ultrabook. I found a couple ultrabooks which are both touch screen and only $500, while other touch screen ultrabooks cost a couple hundred dollars more. One is an Asus Vivobook and the other is an HP sleekbook. However, my only concern is that the Asus has an Intel i3 core. I want to multitask a lot on me device as easily as switching between apps on an iPad. My main needs are Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Web browsing, email, facebook, online games, some apps, CD and DVD burning, photo and video editing, video calls, iTunes, I think you get the idea. I do am not some hardcore PC gamer so I don't need too intensive speed, but I want about the same speed and responsiveness as an iPad. If an i3 is too slow for me, would an AMD 8-4555M be speedy? And what Intel processor would it correspond to? By the way, the HP is clocked at 1.60 GHz with Turbo Boost Technology up to 2.40 GHz, and the Asus at 1.8.

Answer
the amd a8 is a quad core, the i3 is a dual core. not only is an i3 a dual core, for the price it i not a very good processor.however i would not buy from microsoft or an asus ,asus quality has gone downhill. often you can find good laptops on clearance at retailers like best buy.contact me if you need more help.

How can I prevent my windows 8 computer from shutting down?

Fia

My computer is MSI Dragon Edition 2 GT70 running windows 8.
But the problem is that after a while of me going AFK(Away from Keyboard) my laptop shuts itself down..... EVEN though I have the sleep settings and everything else set to NEVER(On battery & Plugged in)
Yet my laptop decides to shut itself down after a while and it is really frustrating especially when I'm editing a video or uploading something or downloading a game.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening? I don't want my laptop to shut down.
No it's not overheating. Please don't just add any random answer to get more points.

Answer
Could be overheating.
