    If you're talking about an i3 330M (vs an 330UM), it does not compare favourably.

    However, depending on price/availabity in your location with a similarly spec'd notebook with an i3 330M that price may be worth considering.

    If, however, it is performance you're seeking - ignore AMD's.

    The old AMD 65nm CPUs are awfully hot, so i would not recommend that one.
    The newer AMD 45nm CPUs are called either Turion, Athlon or Phenom with II (2) after the name.
    Example: AMD Phenom II

    The i3 330M would be much faster, as would an older Core 2 Duo at that clock speed.

    Too old(more than 2 years)and not competitive to anything in the market specially in energy consumption.
