A:
Hi, thank you for your question.
The AMD A8-4500M is better compared to the Intel Core i5 (3210M)
One can be considered better than the other depending on the reviews and who does the tests.
AMD did better in the Passmark CPU test where the Intel CPU did better in the 3D Mark CPU test.

RAM can be upgraded to 16GB. provided you are prepared to purchase the 2 x 8GB modules
Hope that helps
