There is nothing like that.after reading some user comments on Flipkart and some of my friends also tell me not to buy AMD
AMD Faster BUT THE PERFORMANCE WILL DEGRADE WITH TIME AND EVENTUALLY DIE WITHIN 3 YEARS.
But with intel you get a constant performance it can go on for more than 5-6 years
i3-3220 will not only give you better performance, but very cooler (at only 55W) use less power, and it should save you money.

Stop reading comments by idiots and stop listening to idiots.
Read the links below:
Intel i3-3220's graphics are Intel HD 2500. It is slower than HD 3000 in Core i3-2105. CPU wise both i3-3220 and 2105 have same performance, bar 2-3% difference.
GPU performance - going to be more than twice of Core i3-3220.

Power consumption argument is null and void since most PCs run at idle. At idle Trinity consumes rather less power than i3-3220. At FULL LOAD Trinity will consume ~40 watts more. i3-3220 will only save you one Domino's pizza in ONE year (0.04 kWh * 8 hours * 365 days = 116.8 units of power) while giving you considerably less gaming performance and equal CPU performance.
And guess what, no one ever runs their CPU at full load for 8 hours every day of a year. Most people run at idle and Trinity consumes less or equal power at idle. SO, NO PIZZA FOR YOU.
I'm suggesting you what is right in your budget. Since you will not be spending on a discrete GPU in future.
I'm running an AMD A8-3870K machine (look in my signature). I'm not telling you to buy only and only A10-5800K. I'm just telling you to clear your head from misconceptions and false information. It is your money afterall.
