No, it won't work!
Your CPU is way to slow even for the minimum requirements!

To correct you, you have 4 cores not 8! You see 8 due to hyper threading, don't let that confuse you!
And be more specific?
What settings were you using and what resolution?

@rohankuril
we need CPU and GPU specs
normal AMD Sempron's are single core and you need dual core minimum to play it

if you have AMD Sempron x2 that is dual core then but it states you need AMD Althon X2 2.7 GHz minimum and you need a GPU with 512MB ram and dx10.1 minimum

if your computer can't load it properly it does no meet the requirements or you have not updated drivers,windows,directx etc

i disagree i have had two dell laptops and on my third and not spent any money on them other than buying them and they still work 100% and no money spent on repairs.

if you bought a dell before 2005 i would agree. 2005 onward very stable and reliable and durable

you need to look after your computers with good care they last for years without spending any money on them

lastly i guess it is personal preference on what make of computer you buy

@abhi225999
who need ultrabook if you want use it to play games instead of travel

@dom1da
dell always look good in the first time.
But after 1 year it become the nightmare and that time you'll burn your wallet to repair it.
highly recommend lenovo ibm thinkpad, ugly keyboard and style but they are monster about durability

3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i5-3230M processor (3M Cache, up to 3.20 GHz)
Windows 8 64bit
15.6in High Definition (1366X768) WLED with TrueLife
6GB DDR3 SDRAM at 1600MHz
1TB Serial ATA (5400RPM)
2GB AMD Radeon HD 7730M

it is better value for money and cheaper than Lenovo ideapad u510
dell's are very reliable i have had three laptops i highly recommend dell

@loggins
this is what you have
AMD Switchable Graphics combines the low power advantages of an integrated graphics processor with the performance of a discrete class graphics processor.

With AMD Switchable Graphics now you can have the best of both worlds with maximum performance when you need it and long battery life when on-the-go.

you need drivers from hp you can't use AMD drivers as they are not compatible with the switchable graphics. i know i have tried my self i have a dell.

sadly there is no way to turn off switchable graphics and use a single gpu as the manufacturer as locked some of the options in the bios making them invisible to the user
majority of new laptops have this new tech as it the new trend.
AMD has switchable graphics and Nvidia has optimus.

the problem is your computer does not switch to the AMD GPU that is why the game is unplayable Intel GPU can't run it as it is not designed for gaming

you need to follow the instructions below

go to hp support page select drivers and downloads and use the auto detect feature should find your exact model

then select your OS and then you will get a list of your drivers you need to download and install the one which says AMD not intel and update all drivers and software

if you still have problems pm me first before you contact hp support as i have AMD switchable graphics on my laptop as well
