>watching A12 APU videos on youtube playing all the popular benchmark games
>all of them are at 720p >and medium settings >none of the games running at 60 >most 50 at max and various moments of stuttering
wait didnt the last APUs also run games at 720p on medium at less than console quality too?
lmao, this is AMD's revolution?
so here we are once again with none of Ryzen CPUs able to actually run games better than intel options
and now their APU has a IGP that nobody would bother with to game and can just use Intel's IGP to do the same shit before they buy a real GPU and then pair it with an Intel CPU that wont bottleneck it
Steam hardware survey want to have a word with you

A12-9800 is still a Bulldozer APU. It also costs $100 so it's not like they're charging you an arm and a leg for it.
Joseph Hill
for $100 you can buy a i3-7100 and run Witcher 3 at 1080p max with any competent GPU
Liam Rodriguez
Yes, that GPU will cost at least $200 extra. APU is not really in the same price bracket as CPU+GPU.
Raven Ridge APUs will be the ones to look out for. This is just AMD getting rid of old stock that they originally were selling to OEMs.
Dylan Russell
so you're gonna upgrade from a fucking A10 to this shit rather than build a proper 1151 PC?
who in their right fucking mind is going to spend 100 to play at worse than console quality
you can buy a fucking PS4 original edition for fucking $100 and get better quality
Parker Robinson
Could be good for a mediacentre build. Or a dirt cheap rig for older games.
Tyler Sullivan
>$200 >Witcher 3 at max settings
Nigger you're going to need a $400 1070 at least.
Austin Myers
not really, just a 6GB 1060
Xavier Edwards
just wait for raven ridge

Pentium and i3 dont actually have great single thread, its the unlocked ones that do really well. Youd have to shell out for the 7350k to see a signoficant songle thread advantage over AMD.
Christopher Evans
Bulldozer has even worse single core than that, though. Not even kidding. A12-9800 25% slower single core than G4560.
Zen based Raven Ridge APUs won't have this problem.
Josiah Jackson
every kabylake 1151 pentium and up is 100% + single thread
