I would say that an A8-4500 running at 2.8GHz would be about equal to an Intel mobile CPU running at 2.2GHz - 2.3GHz, but that's a rough estimate. Individual tasks can vary though. The A8-4500 is a quad core CPU while most mobile Intel CPUs that would compete with the A8-4500 on price would be dual core CPUs.
This means at 2.8ghz the AMD cpu is still not as fast as an Intel i7 at 2.3ghz. The 3610 refers to the model number of the i7. The '3' is the generation (Ivy Bridge 22nm) The '6' '1' and '0' are the performance level compared to other intel cpus of the same generation.
