if you're not a gamer then an APU offers zero benefit over an intel igpu
Cooper Cooper
To be fair, the APUs they are recommending aren't the best APUs.
Christopher Gray
The A8-7650K with low-noise stock cooler is good enough for retard builds. Most systems are in idle state 99% of the time anyway.
Blake Thomas
They are cheaper and more compatible with the occasional game you might play. I don't game much these days but every now and then I find the time and interest to do so. Theres no reason to own a dedicated device for that.
Brayden Jackson
>apus are shit ... for gaming. For everything else, they are a great way to save hundreds of dollars.
Xavier Flores
name one that is better than the A8-7650K at the same price point
Ian Myers
people(kids) want to feel edgy explaining all the different parts in their PC. cpu+graphic card=engine+carburetor. apu=engine+fuel injection.
the pc game is filled with nothing but elitist virgins.
Wyatt Howard
that and they all think you need an i7 and a 1080 to play games
Eli Nelson
>some retard thinks a 1080 is unnecessary for playing Candy Crush
Get a load of this guy
Henry Edwards
This depends. I'm sensitive as FUCK to intels drivers. I don't know what the fuck it is but about 4-5 years ago intel started doing something with their drivers that gives me brutal headaches. I'm not alone in this either though it's a real small amount of people.
I'm stuck using AMD apu's if I'm using on board because of this.
For most people if they're planning on using onboard graphics I don't think they're going to give much of a shit whether it's AMD or Intel though and their only concern should be "what's better at my price point at this time".

>my pointless hobbies are better than your pointless hobbies!
you can get a pentium G3250 for $32 less
Zachary Garcia
i play games on a $150 dual core 1.8 with intel hd laptop. imagine a $400 laptop with an APU and twice my ram. 10 times the fucking performance.
Nicholas King
because literally nobody, not even cheapass business owners use APUs.
Alexander Reed
>pentium G3250 That shit is even slower than a i7-4770K. You can't game on Intel igpus.
Grayson Morgan
anything under a8 is absolute shit. They can barely handle youtube hd streaming.
a8s and a10s make sense for fast, cheap builds and also light gaming.
It isn't possible to do that without a graphics card.
Tyler Campbell
So lets say i want a machine qhich would be used to youtube and browsjing
What id the cheapest i can get? Apu build? Used laptop?
Jonathan Walker
If you're not a gamer and you're not doing professional graphics or HPC then you have absolutely no use for any more computing power than that
Dominic Barnes
Used apu. If you like fiddling with stuff, get something with an AMD 5350, it's a fun piece of shit.
Jack Nguyen
Sure, you can get those results if you buy the most expensive APU on the market and put it in a $250 gaming motherboard so that you can overclock your ram to 2400.
But doing that destroys the price point value of an APU. It's silly. If you're going to spend that much money, you should get a CPU and a dedicated graphics card.
Matthew Long
>shit APU >$247 motherboard
u wot m8?
Aiden Lopez
Then why not go with a much cheaper Celeron J1800 build?
Camden Sanders
don't they overheat while browsing the net?
Oliver Hernandez
>shit APU
That isn't a shit APU. It's the best APU on the market.
Nathaniel Scott
Nice backpedal bro
Cameron White
Because i5s are way better and do graphics too.
Nathaniel Scott
>Texture Quality - Normal >Shader Quality - Normal >Shadow Quality - Normal >Reflection Quality - Normal
yep. Best APU on the market and an extremely overpriced motherboard and it still can't max out graphics.
Camden Peterson
He probably can max those out when he isn't recording.
Wyatt Green
Those headaches are caused by your anti-semitism, you Jew hating cunt.
Logan Ross
These APUs make no sense, even a low end HD530 they put in the Pentium Skylakes are better than something like a GT730
Henry Roberts
Sombody tell me a cheap way to max out an a10 5800k? I have 16gb 1866 ram but motherboard is pretty shit.
Chase Perry
you're ram speeds are too low. If your motherboard will allow it, go up to 2400.
Gabriel Bailey
is that the pentium people where shilling some time ago? I'm actually about to build something for my parents and I'm debating between a pentium or an a4 or a6, does anyone actually if they are decent?
