So I hadn't put much thought into APU processing while I always have a discrete graphics card. I seriously had no idea the AM4 APUs where 4rth Gen Bulldozer with a DDR4 memory controller. Pretty interesting, but I can't gather why AMD did this, but it looks like a decent setup just lacking the CPU IPC needed to make the IGP worth anything.
The A10-9700 I was looking at is 3.4Ghz with Radeon R7 graphics unit clocks about 1029Mhz and a max number of 8 PCI-E lanes.
But why? I did a comparison at UserBenchmark just for a quick example. I figure their numbers are close enough, so yea... It looks like an Athlon x2 200GE with Vega graphics is roughly 40-50% faster all around. Cpu IPC and Graphics with OC abilities also.
A quick look at pricing, the A-10 9700 processor is roughly 85$ and the Athlon x2 (4T) with Vega graphics is roughly 60$. You can find these prices at US NewEgg. at US pricing.
The Athlon would make for a better cheaper build for customer or friends or family and have just a better PC experience with it.
